Habeeb Okikiola, better known by his stage name Portable, is a controversial singer who has claimed that he will be arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) when he returns to Nigeria.
These accusations were made public by the “Zazu” hitmaker, who is presently traveling, during a recent Instagram live session with followers.
A self-described social media activist going by the handle VeryDarkMan has reportedly encouraged the EFCC to look into the singer’s handling of the national currency, which is the source of Portable’s problems.
This public appeal comes after Portable made a request for pardon from the EFCC, asking for leniency in the event that he was found guilty of any misconduct pertaining to his management of the Naira.
During the live discussion, Portable shared his concern about being arrested when he gets to Nigeria.
“The EFCC is planning to arrest me when I return to Nigeria because VeryDarkMan name-dropped me,” he claimed, addressing his over 700,000 Instagram followers.
Adding to his defensive stance, Portable criticized VeryDarkMan’s credibility and influence, questioning his motivations and qualifications to speak on legal matters.
As the EFCC has not yet officially responded to these claims, the authenticity of Portable’s allegations remains unconfirmed.
However, the agency is known for its strict enforcement of laws against currency abuse, a standing policy that could potentially affect Portable upon his return.
