The Call for Justice: VeryDarkMan Advocates for the Arrest of Portable.
In recent developments within Nigeria’s vibrant social media landscape, popular critic VeryDarkMan has taken a firm stance against the controversial street-pop artist Portable, calling for his arrest following an alarming incident captured in a viral video. The incident took place during the Felabration event in Lagos, where Portable and his associates were seen physically assaulting a man.
Reports says that the video has sparked outrage across platforms, leading VeryDarkMan to express his dismay over the actions depicted. In a heartfelt plea shared via Instagram, he questioned the morality of Portable’s actions, stating, “Imagine what Portable did to this helpless guy. Is this fair? Why is he treating him like an animal? Is this even right?” He urged the victim to reach out, emphasizing the need for justice in such situations.
Following his interactions with the victim, VeryDarkMan provided an update that has only intensified calls for accountability. He revealed that the man, who sustained multiple injuries—including fractures to his hand and leg—has been hospitalized with medical expenses exceeding N700,000. He further disclosed that the victim feels unsafe and has expressed fears for his safety.
In his resolute message, VeryDarkMan stated, “I will write a petition about this. 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?” His words resonate with many who believe that celebrity status should not exempt individuals from accountability for their actions.
The call for justice in this incident highlights the critical need for societal standards to apply universally, regardless of one’s fame. As the conversation around this event continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how authorities will respond to these pressing calls for action.
