‘Please Forgive Me’ – Portable Appeals To EFCC Over Naira Abuse

Meanwhile, controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has pleaded with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following the prosecution of some celebrities.

Speaking in a recent Instagram live session on Tuesday, Portable appealed to the anti-graft to forgive him if they have any evidence against him abusing the Naira.

He said it was never his intention to mutilate the Naira, stressing that he only sprays money to help the masses.

Portable noted that he respects constituted authority and will not commit such an offence again.

The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ hitmaker also encouraged his followers to open bank accounts. The singer said he would henceforth make transfers to his supporters and “people in need” through their bank accounts.

He wrote, “I use my money to build love. I used my money to build relationships. Did I spray money at the club? I was spraying money in the area where they need me.

“I didn’t deface the naira, I help a lot of people, After God na Government, Please forgive me if you have videos of me spraying money, no more spraying of money.”
