Portable Calls for Help After Attack by Area Boys

Nigerian street-pop artist Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has made headlines once again following a distressing incident at a recent event in Lagos. Portable took to his social media to share graphic footage and details about the severe injuries he sustained during an attack by local “area boys” at an event in Iju-Ishaga, Lagos State.

The singer revealed that he was at the event to celebrate with a friend who is a car vendor. However, the celebration took a dark turn when some individuals took offense at Portable’s actions and attacked him and his team. In his social media posts, Portable detailed how his attackers not only inflicted physical harm but also stole several of his valuable possessions. Among the stolen items were his expensive jewelry, two iPhones belonging to one of his managers, his ATM card, and even one of his cars.

The incident has stirred significant reactions from netizens, with many expressing their opinions and speculations about the attack. Comments range from concerns about Portable’s safety to criticisms of his lifestyle choices. Some users have suggested that the attack might be related to previous controversies or disputes involving the artist.

This attack comes shortly after Portable celebrated the birth of his first child, Babyluv, on social media. The timing of the attack has added to the emotional weight of the situation, leaving many fans and followers concerned about the singer’s well-being.

Portable’s recent altercations, including a fight with show promoter Billyque, have also been a topic of discussion. The artist had previously accused Billyque of conspiring with Sam Larry to harm him, a claim that Billyque has since disputed.
