Controversial street singer Habeeb Okikiola popularly known as Portable narrowly escaped a vicious attack.

According to user @iam_sexyshay's Instagram post, the contentious artist was attacked by a gang of local youths when he was en route to his Zazu Bitters office. However, a few of his devoted followers stepped in and stopped the assault from worsening.

A man who was apparently carrying a gun was arrested in the middle of the confusion. Portable, clearly distressed, stood next to the assailant, who was seated on the ground.

The culprit had already started to face the repercussions of his conduct, as evidenced by the bloodstains on his lips.

Tagging Portable to the video, Sexy Shay explained, “Some area boys come to attack portable with gun on is way going to Zazu bitter office … Big Thanks to all Zazuu Fans people for the area come to support Some Egbon Adugbo don collect the gun from him na God Dey save us.”

In response to the message, numerous internet users conjectured that Portable's recent feud with Verydarkman was the reason behind the attack which they assume could have been staged.
