Nigerian musician Habeeb Okikiola, commonly known as Portable, has pleaded with the EFCC for spraying money on his fans.
It appears that the six-month prison sentence imposed on crossdresser Okuneye Idris, popularly known as Bobrisky, has made most Nigerians, particularly celebrities who frequently spray Naira in public to be more cautious.
Remember how Portable once said he offers his fans spray paint worth about N2 million every day. In a recent live chat, the street artist declared that his acts make people nicer.
The head of the Zeh Nation label begged for pardon from the government and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), an anti-graft agency, looking afraid of the repercussions when video surfaced of him spraying cash.
Announcing that he would only be making transfers, Portable urged his fans to get bank accounts and said he would no longer be spraying money.
In Portable’s words:
“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.”
