Portable Claims EFCC Invited Him Over Naira Abuse Because He’s A Yoruba Boy [Video]

Nigerian singer Portable has claimed that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) invited him for questioning over allegations of naira abuse.

Although the EFCC has not publicly released any invitation letter, the singer posted a video on Instagram in which he expressed frustration over what he described as unfair treatment.

According to Portable, many public figures spray money at parties and events, yet they are not investigated or punished.

He suggested that he was being targeted because of his Yoruba background, arguing that people from other ethnic groups engage in similar acts without facing action from authorities.

Portable also warned that there could be public protests if anything happened to him, insisting that he had not committed any crime.

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,” he said.

“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.”

The singer further appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, claiming that some people were trying to bring him down because of his support for the current administration.

Portable stated that all his income comes from his music career, performances, and international tours.

He added that he also receives payments through cryptocurrency and denied being involved in fraud or any illegal activity.

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,” he added.

“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.”
