Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, narrowly escaped an assassination attempt after capturing a man armed with a gun.
The attack took place at Ota in Ogun State on Wednesday.
A video obtained by Thewatch Africa shows how Portable was visibly shaken, shouting and appealing for public sympathy, “They want to kill me!” he said.
The video also captured the tense moment when a half-naked man, allegedly the assailant, was detained while holding a gun.
Bystanders were heard demanding answers, asking, “Who pulled the trigger?”
Efforts to get a statement from the Ogun State Police Command proved abortive, as its spokesperson, SP Odutola Omol, ola did not respond to calls or messages sent to her.
However, the motive behind the attack remains unclear.
Early this month, a video made the rounds on social media capturing the moment Portable was beating another young man whose identity was not revealed to Thewatch Africa in a toilet.
According to reports, the victim was a member of Portable’s record label.
