The Ogun State Police Command has refuted singer Portable’s claim of receiving psychiatric treatment, insisting that he must submit himself for investigation.
Portable, who was recently declared wanted by the police, had claimed in a viral video that he is undergoing treatment at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta.
However, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Omolola Odutola, dismissed this claim, stating, “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.”
The police had declared the singer wanted following an alleged assault on three government officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office.
Reports indicate that the affected officials—TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi—were allegedly attacked during an enforcement exercise in Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota, Ogun State.
Meanwhile, the police remain firm on their stance that Portable must be held accountable for his actions.
The authorities emphasize that this case requires urgent attention, as no individual should evade justice regardless of their status.
“The law must take its course,”a source within the command stated.
