Portable: I’m a madman, certified psychiatric patient

Controversial singer, Habeeb Olalomi, fondly called Portable, has declared himself a madman, who needs help.

Portable revealed that he receives treatment for his mental health at Aro Psychiatric Hospital, Abeokuta, where he is one of the patients.

In a heartfelt plea via videos on Instagram on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, Portable said he is a certified psychiatric patient.

The Police had on Monday declared him wanted for assaulting officials of Ogun State Government.

Portable said: “…I fear government. I am a federal government liability. Then I’m a madman; I have medications that I usually take. You can confirm from Aro Hospital. I have a card that certifies me as one of their patients.

“I am from Abeokuta and they are taking care of me there. I am not a thief; I help people around me without even looking at their background.”

The singer appealed to the Dapo Abiodun-led government and the general public to forgive him.

He said: “Nigeria, this is when I need you people’s help. There’s no place like home, but evil people full home. Why only me? Why do I have issues in Nigeria? I do music for a living, I’m not a thief, I don’t kill people. I wait for my blessing. I bless people too. I don’t make trouble. People look for my trouble, I’m a superstar.

“God forgive me if I do any bad. After God, na government. They set me up with the government. I don’t have any issues with the government or police. Some people just came to my house, telling me to pack out. I’m not a criminal. I’m not feeling fine. And I’m afraid. I don’t want them to lock me up. I’m going through pain all over my body. I’m a Federal Government liability. I didn’t go to school, I’m a fashion designer.”

The Ogun State Police Command had declared controversial singer, Habeeb Olalomi, fondly called Portable, wanted for allegedly leading a violent attack on government officials carrying out their lawful duties in the state.

The command’s spokesperson, CSP Omolola Odutola, announced this in a statement on Monday, February 17, 2025.

Odutola disclosed that the incident occurred at about 10 a.m. on February 5, 2025, when three officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office – TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi – were conducting an enforcement exercise at Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota and encountered an elderly man, later identified as Portable’s father, at Odogwu Bar in the area.
