Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, also known as Portable, has joined other celebrities in speaking about the killing in Benue.

Recall that between Friday, June 13, 2025, and Saturday, June 14, 2025, mass killings occurred in Yelwata, Benue state, that reportedly resulted in the deaths of 200 people, some of whom were burnt alive. Controversial social critic, Vincent Martins Otse, publicised the news after he visited the site of the killings and posted the gory aftermath on social media.

Zazu crooner, Portable, took to his official Instagram page to also lend his voice to the tragedy in Benue. The music star addressed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the clip.

Portable pleaded with the president to attend to the situation in Benue and to stop the killings. According to the Zazu star, they were protecting the lives of cows more than the lives of humans in the state.

The Zazu star went on to say he was encouraged to speak about the situation in Benue after singer Innocent Idibia aka 2baba also lent his voice to the matter.

On a final note, Portable reminded President Tinubu of his plan to get reelected in 2027 and how the killings in Benue could affect his ambition. The Zazu star told Tinubu to do the needful to ensure his reelection.

In his words:

“Please Daddy Tinubu, hear what Benue is saying please. Benue needs your help. They should stop the killings, we don’t know who’s doing the killings. They protect the lives of cows more than the lives of humans. See how they were using cars and security to protect cows, not human beings dying in Benue state, 2face Idibia’s state. 2baba has spoken up, that’s why I’ve spoken up too. He's my brother. 2baba is a musician like me. In Benue, they called me for a show, but now I can’t go. Please Tinubu do the needful, don’t let them use this to spoil your election plans in 2027, Tinubu is going for a second term, so do the needful for anybody who needs it. President Tinubu do the needful, stop killing people in Benue.”
