Nigerian activist and critic, Martins Vincent Otse popularly known as ‘Verdarkman (VDM)’ has in a video show the current state of the man hip hop singer Habeeb Okikiola (Portable) beat up, stating that he feared for his life.
The activist cum philanthropist in the video stated that the victim of Portable’s brutality suffered broken bones in several regions of his body and is currently scared to go out for fear of being killed.
Recall that a video had circulated online showing the Zazoo crooner and his team beat up one of his workers in a restroom for allegedly taking away his money.
However, Portable had slammed back at VDM for championing the cause of his victim while he threatened the critic, told him to go and make findings about his person.
‘’Online madness dey different from Real life madness. I go bend you, I go mend you. I go cripple you. I am a one-man battalion. If I hold you…You are using Abuja to threaten me. Go and ak of me in Maraba Nyanya, use, Babangida market, go and ask of Lagos boy. ‘’
VDM in the video emphasized that the hip hop singer must pay for the perpetrated crime except if the country is lawless, disclosing that he will personally write a petition on behalf of the assaulted fellow to submit at the police station while revealing that he will pick up part of the hospital bill which has accrued to the sum of N700, 000.
“This is the current situation of the guy portable was punching in that video, unless if there is no laws in Nigeria will portable escape this, Portable has to pay for this, if we all keep taking laws into our hands then we are no different from the Animals”
In his defence Portable explained to his fans reasons for assaulting his helpless victim: “My fans, you guys should have known the person I was beating. We had a one on one fighting, man to man. Someone who has collected money for up to five shows and ran away with my money for six months. That man, he collected money for my shows. Are you my manager?”
