‘You have three days to apologise to the pastor you slapped,’ Testimony Jaga to Portable
Gospel singer, Testimony Jaga has issued a three-day ultimatum to controversial artiste, Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable to apologise to the pastor he slapped.
Earlier in the week, the ‘Zazu’ crooner was captured in a live video where he slapped the preacher for “disturbing him with his sermon on a Monday morning”.
The singer had initially ordered one of his boys to send the pastor away but he later joined the argument and in the process, physically assaulted the preacher.
The incident has divided the Nigerian social media space as many netizens slammed Portable for his action while a few others backed him.
Reacting to the Monday morning incident, Testimony Jaga in a post made on his Instagram on Friday said, “@portablebaeby I am giving you three days to apologize to that man.”
Jaga further expressed that if the pastor had indeed done something wrong, the proper course of action would have been to involve the authorities, rather than taking matters into his own hands.
“If Portable felt the pastor was doing something wrong, why not call the police or law enforcement to handle the situation? There was no need to slap him,” Jaga said.
“That man is someone’s father and husband. All I ask is for Portable to apologize—to the pastor and his family. If he doesn’t, he might find himself setting an example for why such behavior won’t be tolerated.”
The gospel artist ended his statement by warning that if Portable fails to apologise within three days, there could be further consequences.
