Nigerian Singer Portable Unhurt in Ogun State Car Crash

Nigerian streetpop singer Portable escaped unhurt from a minor car accident in Ogun State on Thursday night after his vehicle's brakes failed, forcing him to steer into a ditch to avoid colliding with another car.

The incident occurred on a familiar route in his neighborhood, as Portable detailed in videos posted to his Instagram story. "My fans, thank God on my behalf. This is my usual route. All of a sudden, I lost control of the wheel," he said. He explained that he pressed the brake pedal repeatedly, but it did not respond, prompting his evasive action. "I do not want to die. Ogun saved me. Nothing happened to me," Portable added, noting that his car sustained no major damage.

Portable expressed relief that no trailer was nearby at the time, which he said could have led to a fatal outcome. "Nothing do me oo, I came out unhurt. I suddenly realised that the car had failed brake. I thank God my people did not come here to carry my corpse," he stated in the footage. Associates arrived at the scene shortly after, finding him safe.

The accident happened just hours before the naming ceremony for his newborn son with wife Bewaji, born on May 1 during Portable's celebrity boxing match...
