Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, a singer known for his controversial nature, has made a statement alleging that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is planning to arrest him on charges of Naira abuse.
Portable, who is currently residing abroad, has claimed that once he returns to Nigeria, the operatives of the anti-corruption agency will apprehend him.
The artist, famous for his song ‘Zazu’, recently appealed to the EFCC to forgive him if they possess any evidence of him misusing the Naira.
He now believes that he is being targeted due to the request made by self-proclaimed social media activist, VeryDarkMan, urging the agency to take action against Portable for his alleged Naira abuse.
During a recent Instagram live session with his fans, Portable expressed his thoughts on the matter.
Portable said:
“I am scared. The EFCC is planning to arrest me when I return to Nigeria because VeryDarkMan name-dropped me.
“VeryDarkMan abi VeryDarkBrain, you talk too much. Leave talk for people who have something reasonable to say.
Are you a law enforcement officer? Your opinions on public affairs are for people in the law enforcement agencies.
When you were arrested it was Nigerians who begged for your freedom. When you came out, you were lean; all your muscles disappeared.
“And now you’re bragging. Leave talk for people who are sensible. You talk about women, politics, everything. What do you do for a living? Tok tok.”
The “Zazuu Zeh” singer sent a heartfelt statement, stressing Olamide’s everlasting support and trust in his skills, which catapulted him to unprecedented heights in the music business.
Portable reminisced about the days when he would perform for only N200 at events.
He expressed his heartfelt gratitude for Olamide’s sincere gesture of signing and supporting him without any conditions.
He praised the YBNL Boss for giving him opportunities while many questioned his abilities.
Reflecting on his rise from the streets to popularity, Portable credited Olamide’s generosity, describing him as not only a boss but also a heavenly agent of blessing in his life.
In his words:
“If not for Olamide, I would’ve still been on the streets. I went to London and collaborated with the best rapper in the UK and it’s all thanks to Olamide. When nobody believed in me, you told me that I was gonna make it and I’ve made it bigger than I ever thought.
Olamide is a boss, he sponsored me without signing me and never asked for anything in return and that’s why I respect him so much. Some people use me to do bläck business but Olamide is the only guy in this industry who showed me love.
Olamide paved the way for me, he’s my boss and God used him to bless me. I’m from streets and I’ve been through a lot but I thank God for sending Olamide to me. I used to perform for N200 before Olamide helped me and he didn’t rip me like most people do in this industry.
Paving the way for someone doesn’t only mean inspiring them, but it involves making things easier for those who come after you and that’s exactly what Olamide has done for a lot of artistes.”
