Nigerian artist Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, known as Portable, has publicly addressed the allegations after being declared wanted by the Ogun State Police Command.
The police issued the warrant on Monday, accusing the singer of assaulting law enforcement officers who were performing their duties.
In a series of Instagram stories, Portable vehemently denied the charges, asserting that he had not committed any violent crime, including murder. He referred to the police’s actions as a personal attack, urging authorities to provide evidence of the alleged altercation.
Expressing frustration and distress, Portable stated, “I didn’t kill anybody. If anything happens to me, there will be trouble. They should post the evidence of where I fought them at my bar. They are evil people, and they are lying against me. Just kill me and let everywhere scatter,” he wrote.
In a later post, the musician pleaded for forgiveness from the Ogun State government, attributing his troubles to what he described as a ‘Spiritual attack.’
He expressed that he was battling several health issues, adding, “All this evil thing wey dey happen to me, na spiritual attack. God save me. I’m facing a lot of sicknesses all over my body. I’m taking care of myself. Pain in my body. Make Ogun State government forgive me,” he pleaded.
The situation continues to unfold as the singer’s supporters and the police await further developments.
