Social media critic VeryDarkMan has called for the arrest of singer Portable following allegations of assault captured in a viral video. The incident reportedly took place at the recently concluded Felabration event in Lagos, where Portable and his associates were seen attacking a man. This troubling footage has sparked outrage and demands for accountability.
In an Instagram video reacting to the incident, VeryDarkMan expressed his shock, stating, “Imagine what Portable did to this helpless guy. Is this fair? Why is he treating him like an animal? Is this even right?” His emotional appeal highlights the perceived injustice of the situation and emphasizes the need for a response from authorities.
After contacting the victim, VeryDarkMan provided an update on the man’s condition, revealing that he has been hospitalized due to multiple injuries sustained during the assault. “The guy you beat is seriously injured and is in the hospital. The bill is over N700,000. He broke his hand and leg,” he stated, underlining the severity of the situation.
VeryDarkMan also shared concerns about the victim’s safety, noting, “The guy told me that he is scared for his safety. I will write a petition about this.” His determination to seek justice reflects a broader concern about celebrity power and accountability in Nigeria. He further asserted, “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?”
The call for Portable’s arrest has garnered significant attention on social media, with many users supporting VeryDarkMan’s stance. The incident raises important questions about the treatment of individuals by those in positions of fame and influence, highlighting a growing demand for justice in the face of perceived abuses of power.
As the situation develops, the public awaits a response from authorities regarding VeryDarkMan’s petition and the potential consequences for Portable.
