The Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, was captured in a tense and dramatic confrontation with an unidentified man, drawing the attention of airport security and bystanders alike.
In a 53-second video circulating widely online, the “Zazu Zeh” crooner is seen dressed in beige, visibly agitated and shouting as he tries to confront the individual amid a crowd.
Airport security personnel quickly intervened, restraining Portable and escorting him toward a waiting vehicle.
The scuffle became more chaotic as one person was left barefoot, while another reportedly brandished a belt, escalating the commotion.
Following the incident, Portable addressed the situation on Instagram, alleging that he was the target of a “death prank” by a group of pranksters, which nearly escalated to a cult-like confrontation.
Speaking in a mix of English and Yoruba, he urged government authorities to clamp down on prank videos and “fake bloggers” spreading misinformation about him.
“Those people came to prank me. They were death pranksters. It almost turned to cultist level. Ten yellow no fit stand one blue,” Portable stated.
He further condemned online bloggers for spreading false reports aimed at damaging his reputation.
“Make Government stop all those prankers and some fake bloggers. Make them stop all this fake news post just because of small fame. Why una dey spoil person wey get glory name with una platforms,” he added.
