Amid fears of potential arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over naira abuse, controversial street singer Portable has appealed to the anti-graft agency for forgiveness.
Portable, known for his energetic performances and lavish displays of money, expressed remorse for his actions, stating that he was only trying to help the poor.
The plea comes in the wake of recent crackdowns on individuals involved in naira abuse, including the sentencing of Bobrisky and the impending trial of Cubana Chief Priest.
Observers and social commentators say they have observed growing trend of accountability regarding the misuse of the national currency among influential Nigerians.
Portable, acknowledging his past behavior of tossing money into the air during performances, urged the EFCC to spare him, emphasizing the importance of government and the need for forgiveness.
“After God na Government, please forgive me if you have videos of me spraying money, no more spraying of money”, Portable pleads
While the EFCC has yet to take action against the singer, Portable’s plea highlights the apprehension among public figures facing potential legal consequences for naira abuse.
