Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has raised alarm over alleged plans by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to arrest him for alleged Naira abuse. The singer, currently abroad, expressed fear that EFCC operatives would detain him once he returns to Nigeria.
Portable’s concerns stem from self-acclaimed social media activist VeryDarkMan’s call for EFCC to take action against him for allegedly abusing the Naira. Recently, Portable publicly pleaded with EFCC to pardon him if they possessed any evidence of Naira abuse against him.
During an Instagram live session with fans, Portable voiced his apprehension, accusing VeryDarkMan of instigating trouble. He criticized VeryDarkMan’s outspokenness, questioning his credentials to comment on public affairs and suggesting that he focuses on sensible matters. Portable also questioned VeryDarkMan’s occupation and mocked him for losing weight after his previous arrest.
The singer’s remarks reflect his anxiety and frustration over the perceived threat of arrest by EFCC based on VeryDarkMan’s allegations.
