Popular social media critic, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has called for singer Portable’s arrest for assaulting a man in a viral video on social media.
A trending video online captured the controversial street-pop singer and his boys assaulting a man in a toilet at the just concluded Felabration event in Lagos.
Reacting to the development in an Instagram video, VeryDarkMan said, “Imagine what Portable did to this helpless guy. Is this fair? Why is he treating him like an animal? Is this even right?
“Please, this guy should reach out to me if he feels his right has been tampered.”
Giving an update on the incident after getting in touch with the victim, VeryDarkMan called for Portable’s arrest, revealing that the man has been admitted in the hospital following multiple injuries sustained from the beating.
He said, “The guy you beat is seriously injured and is in the hospital. The bill is over N700,000. He broke his hand and leg.
“The guy told me that he is scared of his safety. I will write a petition about this. Except if there’s no law in this country, then you will go unpunished. You think you can abuse power because you are a celebrity?”
