Portable calls on govt to ban pranksters after airport drama  

Habeeb Okikiola popularly known as Portable, has sparked another online frenzy after being involved in a dramatic scene at the Port Harcourt International Airport on Sunday.

A viral video making the rounds on social media shows the “Zazu Zeh” crooner, dressed in beige attire, attempting to confront an unidentified man amid a crowd of onlookers before being restrained by airport security personnel.

In the chaotic 53-second footage, Portable can be seen shouting and gesturing angrily as security operatives in blue uniforms drag him toward a waiting vehicle. The scuffle reportedly left one person barefoot while another appeared to wield a belt, drawing even more attention from passersby.

Reacting to the incident in an Instagram video on Monday, Portable claimed he was attacked by pranksters who were attempting a “death prank” on him.

“Those people came to prank me. They were death pranksters. It almost turned to cultist level. Ten yellow no fit stand one blue,” he said in a mix of English and Yoruba.

He further accused the pranksters and some online bloggers of trying to tarnish his image with fake news, calling on the government to ban prank videos and clamp down on “fake bloggers.”

“Make Government stop all those prankers and some fake bloggers. Make them stop all this fake news post just because of small fame. Why una dey spoil person wey get glory name with una platforms,” he posted.

Portable, known for his unfiltered personality and frequent run-ins with law enforcement, has faced multiple controversies in the past — including being declared wanted by the police last year.
