Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has shared his recent experience in the cell.
Recall that Portable was locked up last month following a petition by the Ogun State Government over an assault against some of its staff.
In a recent interview, the Zazoo crooner said he was lucky to escape the usual beating of new inmates by their mates.
He also noted that he refused to pray with some cellmates who had requested that they pray together because they were killers.
The street singer disclosed that when he got to his cell room, the leader gave up his position for him, but he declined, as he believed he wasn’t meant to be there.
“Thank God I am a Government’s child. They said I am a crazy person, when I got the government I told them I am not crazy. When I entered Cell 4, I blessed them. Normally, they beat new people in the cell; when I got there, the head of the cell dethroned himself for me to become the leader, but I said No, this is not my house. Then I asked what his offense was; he said they accused him of murder. I told him to stay beside me as long as he didn’t kill me.
“A person said we should pray; I said No, God doesn’t answer this kind of prayer. We aren’t in church. One said he had killed one person, another said he killed two people, and another said three people. I haven’t killed anyone, so our prayers cannot work together. Pray on your own.”
