Eko hot blog reports that In the world of Nigerian music, controversies often swirl around artist portable like swirling winds in a storm.
Editor’s Pick:
One such storm has brewed around the ‘Zazu’ crooner Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable.
But this time, it’s not about his latest hit or catchy dance moves; it’s about something more serious – alleged Naira abuse.
Portable, currently residing abroad, has recently found himself in the crosshairs of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The singer claims that the anti-graft agency has its sights set on him and is ready to pounce once he steps foot back in Nigeria. Why? Alleged Naira abuse.
In a recent Instagram live session with his fans, Portable voiced his fear and frustration.
He pointed fingers at a self-proclaimed social media activist, VeryDarkMan, accusing him of instigating the EFCC’s interest in him.
According to Portable, VeryDarkMan’s outspokenness has put him in the line of fire, leaving him trembling at the thought of returning home to face potential arrest.
But Portable didn’t stop there. He launched a scathing attack on VeryDarkMan, questioning his credibility and motives.
He accused him of speaking out of turn and meddling in affairs that don’t concern him.
In Portable’s eyes, VeryDarkMan’s actions reek of hypocrisy, especially considering the support he received from Nigerians during his own run-in with the law.
The situation begs the question: is Portable being targeted unfairly, or is the EFCC simply doing its job to combat financial crimes, even on social media platforms? Some argue that the agency’s actions are justified, given the seriousness of Naira abuse and its implications for the economy.
Others see it as an overreach fueled by the whims of social media influencers.
As the saga unfolds, one thing is clear: Portable’s plight has ignited a debate about the power and responsibility of both law enforcement agencies and social media figures.
