They are tracking me – Singer Portable calls out bank over alleged kidnap attempt

Contentious First Bank has come under fire from Nigerian singer Portable for suspected kidnapping attempts.

Portable, who made the claim in a widely shared video on his Instagram page, clarified that he almost became a hostage when visiting a bank institution.

Known for his spectacular outbursts, the musician accused the bank of tracking him and claimed that his only offense was asking the bank to explain why they had locked his account.

Portable claimed that the supposed N400 billion in the account was for his business transaction and denied any involvement in any fraudulent activity while recounting his experience with the bank in a now-deleted film.

"They are pursuing me to kidnap me from First Bank. Who are they that are following me? What have I done wrong? I don't do scams or Yahoo. The customer is always correct. Additional funds continue to flow into the business account. I need help, please.

"I just voiced my complaints. The customer is always correct. That account, which has more than M400 billion, is a commercial account.

His assertions coincide with the recent online controversy surrounding the arrest of well-known critic VeryDarkMan on Friday, May 2, following his visit to a Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) branch to voice his displeasure over a purported withdrawal from his mother's account.
