Habeeb Okikiola, controversial Nigerian singer popularly known as Portable, has publicly called on crossdresser Bobrisky to reconsider hid lifestyle and “repent from sinful ways.”
Portable’s remarks came in the wake of a series of legal and personal troubles facing Bobrisky, whose real name is Idris Okuneye.
Bobrisky was released from prison on August 5 after serving part of a six-month sentence handed down on April 12 for his involvement in the abuse of the Nigerian currency, the naira.
His current ordeal began when social media influencer Martin Otse, known as ‘VeryDarkMan’, shared an alleged audio recording online in which Bobrisky purportedly claimed he had bribed officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) with ₦15 million to drop charges against him.
Bobrisky, a prominent social media personality has since denied these accusations.
He dismissed the audio recording as “fake” and insisted that he had not paid any bribe, stating, “I served my term in prison.”
The bribery allegations, however, prompted the EFCC to summon both Bobrisky and Otse for questioning. EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede has also ordered an investigation into the claims, further fueling the controversy.
Adding to the situation, rapper Falz corroborated part of Otse’s claims in a warning letter he sent to the activist.
In the letter, Falz revealed that Bobrisky had allegedly reached out to him seeking ₦3 million to pay certain officials in exchange for a VIP section in prison, a request he declined.
As Bobrisky battles both legal scrutiny and public judgment, he recently revealed that he is struggling with suicidal thoughts.
While he has denied seeking sympathy, Bobrisky has asked for understanding and support as he navigates this difficult period.
Reacting to recent developments via Instagram, Portable offered advice to crossdresser Bobrisky, urging him not to consider suicide but instead to repent from his “sinful ways.”
In his message, Portable encouraged the crossdresser to seek forgiveness from God and embrace a path of redemption.
“Bobrisky, life is risky. God does not want sinners to die. Tell him to repent. Damn it to any sinner that does not repent. If you die, you are going to hell. Beg God to forgive you. God does not want a sinner to die,” he said.
“Help me tell Bobrisky to ask God for forgiveness. All Bobrisky needs is to ask God for forgiveness of sin. What Bobrisky is facing now, if he repents, he will enjoy the world. But if he does not repent….” he wrote.
