Controversial Nigerian Singer, Habib Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, is alleging that his bank account containing over N400 billion has been frozen by First Bank of Nigeria.
Making the allegation via a video on Instagram page, the self-acclaimed “Zazuu Zeh” crooner claimed that the money in question was legitimate earnings from his music career, particularly from international streaming platform Apple Music.
He expressed fears of personally visiting the bank because of the possible involvement of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
However, neither First Bank nor the EFCC has made an official statement on Portable’s claim
He referred to the raging incident involving online Social Media Influencer VeryDarkMan (VDM) and GT Bank.
“My funds are currently with First Bank, totaling over 400 billion Naira, and they’ve frozen my account!” Portable cried out in the video. “I’m not involved in any illegal activities; I make my living through music. That money was sent to me by Apple Music.”
The Singer called on Nigerians to rise to his defence and tell First Bank to release the funds, a claim that has since gone viral across social media platforms.
Portable rose to fame in late 2021 with his breakout single Zazuu Zeh, featuring Olamide and Poco Lee..
