It was alleged that the ‘Zazuu Zeh’ crooner collected payment for him to perform at an event but he never showed up on the D-Day.

In a video that went viral, Portable revealed that he had recorded a song for the group who flew down to Nigeria to feature him.

Giving an update on his health condition, the singer was furious that people did not care if he was harmed and he opined that it’s only dead people Nigerians fight for, hence why no one is seeking justice for him.

Speaking in pidgin English, he said; “Feeling so much pain right now, just your prayer I don’t want to die young. Nobody fights for me but I get GOD.

“Truth only always on my right. If God is GOD I will not fall Zazuu. Didn’t get myself since I was beaten by those guys, from one pain to another. Nah only d dead una dey find justice for? Evidence dey but no one do as if dey see it.”
