Hip-hop artist, Habeeb Okikiola popularly known as Portable, has cried out on threats to his life by members of an unnamed cult group.

He specifically identified a man named Ijomode Yusuf as the instigator.

According to the Zazu crooner, he was enticed to join the cult group on the promise of travelling to Dubai and meeting notable people including Fuji star, Wasiu Alabi Pasuma.

“They want to kill me. They gave me seven days and are threatening me every day. They are sent by Ijomode Yusuf in Owode Ogun state. He is the one who made me join cult,” Portable shared on a now-viral video.

“He said he will make me meet Pasuma and IBD Dende, Abu Abel and different people. He also promised to take me to Dubai and give me money. He bought me iPhone and then accused me of stealing it when I moved out of his house,” Portable added.

Lagos Police commissioner, Abiodun Alabi says that the command is unaware of the allegations Portable has made and his admission to being a member of a cult group.

Portable hit limelight in 2021 with his Zazu single featuring Olamide and Pocolee.
