Portable Calls For Ban On Pranks After His Fight At Port Harcourt Airport [Video]

Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has called on authorities to ban prank videos after being involved in an altercation at Port Harcourt International Airport.

A viral clip shows the singer, dressed in beige, attempting to confront an unidentified man while surrounded by a crowd of onlookers and airport staff.

Security personnel in blue uniforms quickly intervened, pulling Portable away and escorting him to a waiting vehicle in the parking lot.

The video captured a tense scuffle involving chaotic pushing and shoving, with one participant appearing barefoot and another holding what looks like a belt or whip as bystanders gathered to watch the chaos on Sunday.

Breaking his silence in a video shared to Instagram on Monday, Portable claimed he had been targeted by “death pranksters,” people who stage extreme pranks involving fake deaths for online content.

Speaking in a mix of English and Yoruba, the singer suggested the situation nearly escalated into gang violence.

“Those people came to prank me. They were death pranksters. It almost turned to cultist level. 10 yellow no fit stand one blue,” he said,

Portable went on to accuse pranksters and bloggers of tarnishing his reputation for clout, insisting he relies on God’s protection but urged the government to step in and stop such acts.

He wrote, “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.”
