The police insist the singer remains wanted in connection with an alleged assault on government officials.
The Ogun State Police Command has insisted that singer Portable must submit himself.
This comes after he claimed to be having psychiatric issues.
According to the police, the singer remains wanted in connection with an alleged assault on government officials.
Recall that in a video posted on Tuesday, Portable declared that he is a “madman” receiving treatment at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta.
He made the statement while pleading with Nigerians and the Ogun State Government following the police’s declaration of him as a wanted individual.
However, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Omolola Odutola, maintained that Portable must surrender himself for investigation.
“Portable will come and submit himself. He cannot be in the psychiatric hospital in Aro. Everybody knows he is a wanted person. If he is in any facility, the police must be informed. He is a wanted man,” Odutola said.
The police declared Portable wanted after an alleged violent confrontation with three officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office.
The affected officials—TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi—were reportedly attacked during an enforcement exercise at Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota, Ogun State.
