Video: I Would Not Have Slapped Him If I Knew He Was A Genuine Man Of God – Portable Speaks On Attacking Preacher

Controversial Nigerian singer, Portable has asked Nigerians to forgive him for slapping a pastor who came to his bar to preach.

Naija News understands that the singer was caught on camera slapping the clergyman a few days ago.

Following the attack, Portable came under heavy backlash from netizens’ and other preachers who threatened to take action against him for assaulting a man of God.

However, addressing the controversy in a video he shared on Monday night, the singer attributed his actions to past experience.

While begging God for forgiveness, he explained that he attacked the preacher because he thought he was there to cause him spiritual harm.

He said, “My fans, community issues are different from that of the street. May God forgive me. I didn’t know he was a genuine man of God. If I knew I wouldn’t have slapped him.

“I’m also a child of God. I’m human, I’m not perfect. I am an orphan. They have harmed my sister through this same strategy.”
