Portable Drops New Track Targeting EFCC After Alleged Mass Arrest in Abeokuta
Nigerian street-pop sensation Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has wasted no time in responding to recent events in Abeokuta with a new track aimed at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to eyewitness reports circulating on social media, the EFCC allegedly conducted a large-scale raid in the Ogun State capital last night, resulting in the arrest of over 500 youths. While official confirmation from the agency is yet to be released, the alleged operation has sparked heated debates online, with many questioning the methods and scale of the arrests.
In his signature outspoken style, Portable took to the studio to voice his frustrations. The new song laced with satirical lyrics, sharp commentary, and street slang calls out the EFCC’s tactics and champions the plight of Nigerian youths. Known for blending controversy with music, the singer used the track to question whether the crackdown was truly about justice or an unfair targeting of the younger generation.
The release has already gone viral on streaming platforms and social media, with fans and critics alike dissecting its bold message. Supporters praise Portable for “speaking truth to power,” while others warn that his direct approach could draw the ire of authorities.
This isn’t the first time Portable has turned national controversies into music. His spontaneous reactions to trending events have earned him a reputation as one of Nigeria’s most reactive and fearless artistes. With the EFCC raid still making headlines, his latest track is set to fuel conversations around youth profiling, law enforcement accountability, and freedom of expression in the country.
