The controversial artist was attacked and robbed during an event in the Iju-Ishaga area, leaving him injured and shaken. The incident has raised serious concerns about the safety of celebrities in Nigeria, particularly in high-risk areas.
Portable attended the event to celebrate with a friend who is a car vendor. However, what was supposed to be a joyous occasion quickly turned into a nightmare when a group known as “Egbon Adugbo” targeted him and his team. The singer’s presence and behavior at the event drew unwanted attention, leading to a violent confrontation.
In a detailed account shared on his Instagram page, Portable described how the attackers not only inflicted severe injuries on him but also stole several valuable items. The robbers made off with his expensive jewelry, including an ice chain and a gold earring. Additionally, they took two iPhones belonging to one of his managers, an ATM card, and one of his cars. The attack has left Portable devastated, with some of his artists reportedly still missing.
Portable recounted how the situation spiraled out of control despite his efforts to show goodwill to those at the event. He mentioned that he had given money to the crowd, hoping to avoid any trouble. Unfortunately, this gesture did not prevent the attack, and Portable found himself in a dangerous situation. Although he managed to escape, the attackers continued to target his team members, leading to the disappearance of some of his artists.
The singer expressed his deep concern for the missing artists and pleaded with his friend, the car vendor, to help recover the stolen items. In his emotional post, Portable lamented how those he tried to support turned against him, taking advantage of the situation to rob and harm him.
This incident has sparked widespread concern, as it highlights the increasing risks that artists and celebrities face in Nigeria. Despite the traumatic experience, Portable remains hopeful, turning to his faith and the support of his fans to get through this challenging time. His plea for help underscores the seriousness of the situation, as he seeks justice and the safe return of his missing team members.
