Controversial musician, Habeeb Okikiola aka Portable, was yesterday assaulted at his residence located in the Sango-Ota area of Ogun State.
According to a source, the assault was as a result of Portable’s alleged failure to honour an agreement to perform at a show for which he had been paid.
The footage witnessed Portable arguing and vehemently protesting the people’s attempt to gain entry to his home. The artiste could be heard shouting on top of his voice and issuing threats to dissuade the unwanted guests not to have their way.
Following the incident, Portable displayed a police report, showcasing the severity of the situation and injuries sustained during the fracas. “The two guys came from America. Dem say den won blow, make I help their career. Dem give me N2.5 million last year. Dem come back this year and I tell dem say price don change. They added N1 million and I told them that from Lekki to Ajah I used to spend up to N1 million for my fans. I asked them to add N1 million more, making N3.5 million. They refused and asked me to refund. I no gree and they begin to beat me. Look at my face, they have blinded. They are up to 40 and when they saw the police coming, they ran away.”
While hinting at a sense of betrayal, the musician pointed out that enemies were all around him. “These people did to me a very bad thing, but I am happy they are not God,” he declared.
