Popular Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has begged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to forgive him if they see videos of him spraying money.
Taking to his Instagram live session, the controversial street artiste noted that he respects constituted authority.
Portanle explained that it was never his intention to mutilate the Naira, adding that he only sprays money to help the masses.
“After God na government. I’m not mutilating the naira. I only help a lot of people. If you see me spraying money please forgive me.”
“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,” he said.
“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.”
The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ crooner then urged his followers to open bank accounts. The singer said he will henceforth be making transfers to his supporters and “people in need” through their bank accounts.
This came as the EFCC is set to arraign popular socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest for Naira abuse, days after crossdresser Bobrisky was sent to prison for similar offence.
The anti-graft agency ecently said it is investigating several celebrities who may have been involved in currency mutilation.
