Popular media personality, Nedu Wazobia, has reacted to a viral leaked audio linking him to hard drugs and fraud.

We reports that the leaked audio shared by a controversial social media critic, VeryDarkMan, alleged Nedu involvement in drugs and other fraudulent activities.

VeryDarkMan accused Nedu of having close ties with some individuals involved in drugs and fraudulent activities in Turkey, South Africa, and Morocco.

On Wednesday February 26 2025, VeryDarkMan submitted a petition against Nedu at the Turkey, South Africa, and Morocco embassies in Nigeria.

Reacting to the development, Nedu in a recent post on his Instagram story, denied the allegation and involvement in any criminal activities.

“Hello everyone, this is not a joke anymore I know nothing about that voice note going around. I did not make that voice note.While this seems to be fun and games, I’ve never and will never be part of anything criminal”.

Embattled Nigerian musician, Portable has called on president Bola Tinubu to intervene in the ongoing legal battle between him and the Ogun State government.

We reports that the singer, who is currently at large was arraigned by the Ogun State government alongside his nine associates for assaulting officials from the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development.

The Magistrate Justice O.M. Somefun in her ruling on Thursday, granted Portable’s associates N5 million bail each, with sureties who are licensed bond agents registered with the state government. And adjourned the case till March 17 for hearing.

Speaking from his hide-out, Portable denied the allegations, and pleaded for his associates’ release from detention.

Reacting to the development, the singer’s eldest sister, Gbemisola claimed that Portable is acting under the spiritual spell of one of their uncles.

However, Portable in a news video on social media on Tuesday, urged president Tinubu to help him talk to governor Dapo Abiodun to forgive him.

While begging for forgiveness, the singer described himself as government liability, noting that he is a government child.

“President Tinubu, may you not cry over your children. Please help me beg Dapo Abiodun to forgive. Federal government liability is a government child. I be government pikin, please help me beg the governor to consider me as one of his children.”

The Ogun State Government has condemned the “rascality” of hip-hop artiste Habeeb Okikiola, known as Portable, for his behaviour towards officials of the Ogun State Planning and Development Permit Authority, OGPDPA, at his bar in Iyana Ilogbo, Ota.

Portable, who is currently at large, allegedly unlawfully restricted, obstructed, and assaulted town planners Ramon Lateef, Akinpelumi Oyero, and Abidemi Onabanjo while they were performing their duties.

Nine of his associates―Oluwaseun Ayenuwa, 19; Precious Ohiegebo, 19; Oluwapelumi Adeosun, 20; Gospel Kanu, 20; Nurudeen Warris, 21; Adetola Alashe, 25; Fatimo Muhammed, 26; Ifeoluwa Babatunde, 27; and Samuel Adeleke, 28―were arraigned before an Abeokuta Magistrates’ Court on Thursday for allegedly assaulting the officials. They face charges including armed violence, felony, obstruction, assault, conduct likely to cause a breach of peace, and intent to kill. Bail was set at N5 million each.

Governor Dapo Abiodun, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade, described Portable as a “serial dissident and unrepentant rascal” who habitually assaults government officials without provocation.

Akinmade said the “indecent act” would be addressed according to the law. He added that Portable’s actions are becoming “shameful and intolerable” to locals and the government, given the “chaos and fear” he incites.

He emphasised the Abiodun administration’s commitment to ridding the state of illegal activities and establishing morality.

“We are profoundly taken aback by the unpleasant and uncivil act of the hip-hop artiste, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, on Wednesday, in the Iyana-Ilogbo area of the State where his bar is located,” the statement said.

“The way in which Portable and some miscreants he employed in the dastardly act attacked the officials of the OGPDPA is not only bizarre but a confirmation of the erosion of Omoluabi ethos in those individuals and indeed a great disgrace to the state.

“Governor Dapo Abiodun totally condemned this primitive and indecent act and reiterated his avowed commitment to a just and egalitarian society as he is ready to make any individual flouting the extant law of the land face the full wrath of the law irrespective of social status and influence,” the statement concluded.
