Hold EFCC If Anything Happens To Me, Says Portable Over Naira Abuse Invitation

CONTROVERSIAL Nigerian musician, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has cried out, following the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) invitation letter over claims that he abused the Naira, telling his fans to hold the anti-graft agency responsible if anything happened to him.
Although the EFCC was yet to post the invitation letter on its official social media pages at the time, the Zazu crooner, however, in an online video, asked why the Commission’s agents were “pursuing me for spraying money at events, yet other public figures who do the same face no consequences.”
He alleged that he was being singled out because of his ethnic background, suggesting that celebrities from other tribes were not being targeted, warning of possible protest if anything happened to him, even as he insisted he had not broken any law.
According to him: “Tompolo stepped on money, but because I carried bundles of money, you wrote a letter to me.
“You people have written a letter to problem. Protest will happen if anything happens to me. I am Yoruba boy. Igbo and Hausa will spray money at parties, you would not arrest them.
“But you people will see Yoruba people and want to carry them. Do not worry, that protest that I said I would not do, I will do it. Nothing must happen to me. If anything happens to me, Nigeria will divide, Nigeria will scatter.
“I am a Yoruba boy and a proud one. What did I do? I did not steal, I did not sleep with your wives, I did not join bandits. You are writing a letter.
“I did not do fraud, I did not do anything. You red uniformed officers everywhere will become blue, protest would happen.
“Leave me alone, I said I do not want to be violent anymore, you are the ones writing letter to me.”
He alleged that some unnamed persons were trying to destroy him because of his public support for the President Bola Tinubu administration.
Insisting that his wealth came entirely from his music career and international shows, including payments through cryptocurrency, Portable wondered why security agencies were focusing on entertainers accused of spraying money at parties rather than pursuing more serious criminals.
“Hello Daddy Tinubu, our minds are no longer at rest. My mind is no longer at rest, they have written letter to problem. Is it because I am supporting and campaigning for Tinubu? They want to wreck me.
“I did not do fraud, I did not collect false money, it is music money I am collecting. It is music that is paying.
“I am a singer by profession and that is what I am using to brag. I do not do fraud or scam, I have BTC and crypto and I use them to collect payment for shows. I went to London, America, Germany, Canada and I succeeded, why is it Nigeria that wants to wreck me?
“Because I carried mint notes and bragging with it, should I not brag at my child’s naming ceremony? They have now written a letter to me, what should I come and do?
“You people would pay me before I come anywhere. You people should come and kill me and see if Nigeria would not scatter, you red uniformed officers.
“I am not running anywhere, I am in my house, I am securing my family. You people cannot keep oppressing us.
“Bandits are spraying money, stepping on it, killing children and you people did not write a letter to them. It is Zazuu, God’s child, you are writing a letter to.”
