Controversial Nigerian singer Portable narrowly avoided an attack after confronting a man who approached his vehicle with a knife near his father’s residence in Ogun State.

The incident, which has gone viral online, reportedly occurred when the assailant dressed in military camouflage trousers and a Special Forces shirt approached the singer suspiciously. Portable, sensing danger, reacted quickly and confronted the man.

Upon apprehension, a dagger and a charm (juju) tied around the man’s waist were found in his possession. Despite the alarming circumstances, the man claimed he had no intention of attacking the artist and insisted that he was part of a local task force.
