Following a disturbing video that surfaced online, social media activist VeryDarkMan is demanding the arrest of street-pop artist Portable after he was seen assaulting a man during the Felabration event in Lagos. This incident has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation across various platforms.
The viral footage depicts Portable and his associates violently attacking a victim, which has elicited strong responses from many observers outraged by the singer’s actions. In an impassioned Instagram video, VeryDarkMan expressed his shock, questioning the ethics of Portable’s behavior. “Imagine what Portable did to this helpless guy. Is this fair? Why is he treating him like an animal? Is this even right?” he remarked.
The victim reportedly suffered significant injuries, including a broken hand and leg, and is currently hospitalized. Medical expenses have reached over N700,000, as disclosed by VeryDarkMan after he contacted the victim for an update. “The guy you beat is seriously injured and is in the hospital,” he stated. “He told me he is scared for his safety. I will write a petition about this. Unless there’s no law in this country, you will face consequences.”
Public reaction to the incident has been mixed, with some users questioning the legitimacy of the medical bills, while others drew parallels to the struggles of other victims of violence in the entertainment industry. Reactions poured in, with comments ranging from disbelief to irony, as users voiced their opinions on Portable’s actions and the broader implications of celebrity influence.
As the situation continues to evolve, the call for accountability underscores the growing concern over violence and the treatment of individuals in the public eye. The demand for justice in this case reflects a broader advocacy for the rule of law in Nigeria, as activists and citizens alike seek to ensure that no one is above the law, regardless of fame or status.
