CONTROVERSIAL Nigerian singer, Portable has publicly appealed to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, not to prosecute him for his past actions.
During an Instagram live session on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, the musician urged his fans, whom he typically showers with cash during performances or on the streets, to open bank accounts. He stated that he would now focus on transferring money to their bank accounts.
The singer has turned to social media to present his case to the EFCC as they kick off their campaign to prosecute individuals who deface the naira note, including spraying it.
"I didn’t deface the Naira. I help a lot of people, after God, it's the Government. Please forgive me if you have videos of me spraying money, no more spraying of money. My fans, if I no longer spray money, after God, it's the Government, no more spraying of money. If it's about money, open bank accounts, and let's make transfers," he expressed.
This development comes just a week after the EFCC prosecuted the well-known socialite Idris Okuneye, publicly known as Bobrisky, for defacing the naira. Bobrisky was subsequently sentenced to six months in prison without the option of a fine.
