Controversial artist, Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, has fallen victim to hackers who have seized control of his official Instagram account.
This breach has raised concerns among the artist’s loyal fanbase, as the hackers have gained control over the account and are posing as Portable.
The situation came to light when fans noticed suspicious activity on the account, with false information, scams, and potentially harmful content being posted.
Portable and his management team confirmed the incident on Wednesday in a statement released on the management’s Instagram page.
The statement reads, “We regret to inform you that Portable’s official Instagram account has been hacked and taken over by unknown fraudsters.
“We understand that this incident may cause concern and confusion among our loyal fans, and we want to assure you that we are actively working to resolve this issue.
It has come to our attention that the hackers are impersonating Portable and are likely using the account to spread false information, scams, and potentially harmful content.”
The statement warns that Portable and his management team have no control over any content that will be posted from the hacked Instagram account from this moment on.
They strongly advise all fans to disregard any messages, posts, or requests coming from the compromised account.
The management team, however, assures fans that they are working tirelessly to restore the account to its rightful owner and safeguard the integrity of Portable’s online presence.
