Speaking in the clip, Portable said: “My fans, join me in thanking God. I was just driving out this evening when the accident happened.
“I am fine; I came out unhurt. I suddenly realised that the brakes had failed. My people have arrived here [at the scene]; I thank God they are not here to collect my corpse.
“I have already bought two cows for my son’s naming ceremony. Thank God the accident didn’t happen while a trailer was passing on the road.”
Portable recently distributed free ankara materials as aso ebi to celebrate the birth of his new baby with his wife, Bewaji.
