The rapidly rising musician Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, should be brought to an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility, according to Ossai Success, an assistant to Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.

The musician was suspected of organizing some adolescents to beat up a young man in a video clip that was becoming viral on social media.

The Zazzu crooner was shown in the footage our reporter saw encouraging three teenagers to beat up a man whom he claimed of texting his wife.

The Special Assistant on Media to the Governor responded to the video by urging the singer's recovery on his verified Facebook page on Monday.

Take Portable to an alcohol and drug treatment facility, Success wrote. I like the Zazu singer Portable's passion for ending poverty as a young child, but the reality must be said.

“There are a lot of misbehaviours in him that are associated with too much alcohol and drugs. This young boy needs to be taken care of before he gets himself damaged all in the name of fame.

“Someone close to him should as a matter of urgency take Portable to an alcohol and drug rehabilitation centre. Don’t say his character is what is giving him fame because this is how some people started having kidney problems or musical careers started dying while people were busy hailing them.

“I need him to be better in doing his things and that is why I am so concerned about his well-being. He needs urgent attention.”

In a statement issued by the command’s Spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, it was said that the incident in the viral video happened somewhere within the state about three days ago.
