“My fans, thank God on my behalf. This is my usual route. All of a sudden, I lost control of the wheel,” he said in the video.

Portable noted that the accident occurred within his neighbourhood and appealed to the government to fix the road.

“I pressed the brake, but it did not respond. I do not want to die. Ogun saved me. Nothing happened to me. My car is not damaged. Let the government come and complete this road,” he added.

The singer also reflected on how fortunate he was that no trailer was passing when the brake failed.

“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 said.

Portable further revealed that the incident happened barely a day before the naming ceremony of his newborn son.
