Why I slapped pastor preaching outside my bar – Portable explains

57

Singer Portable has addressed the controversy surrounding his recent altercation with a pastor preaching outside his bar.

On Monday, September 16, Portable revealed via an Instagram post that he was severely traumatised after his sister was attacked by a man posing as a priest.

The preacher’s actions, according to Portable, gave him reason to think there was another setup.

While expressing regret for his actions, he made clear that his response was a normal one given his anxiety.

Portable explained:

“They wanted to set me up. He was not a man of God, and if he was a man of God, may God forgive me for slapping him. If I knew he was a real man of God, I wouldn’t have slapped him. The way he acted was why I slapped him, I’m a human being and I’m not perfect.”

He then apologised for his actions.

His apology came after gospel singer, Testimony Jaga, gave him an ultimatum of three days to apologise to the slapped pastor or face the consequences of his action.
