A Nigerian controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known by his stage name Portable, reportedly narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on Wednesday, with a suspected man allegedly captured with a gun.
The incident reportedly took place at Ota in the southwestern Ogun State, with Portable sharing his distress and relief in a now-trending video.
“They want to kill me!,” Portable yelled in the video.
In the video, a half-naked man, allegedly the attacker, was detained by some people, with a pistol being displayed.
People at the scene were heard demanding answers, asking, “Who pulled the trigger?”
The motive behind the alleged attack could not be immediately ascertained.
Police did not respond to a request for comment.
