Popular media personality and content creator, Kolu, has publicly appealed to fellow entertainer, Carter Efe, to lend him N7 million to facilitate the release of controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, from prison.
Kolu made the emotional plea during a livestream session with Carter Efe on Twitch, a moment that quickly gained traction across social media platforms.
During the live conversation, Carter Efe questioned Kolu’s deep concern over Portable’s legal troubles, prompting Kolu to recount the pivotal role the singer allegedly played in his rise to fame. According to Kolu, Portable brought him to Lagos and provided him with the opportunity and exposure that launched his media career.
Speaking in Pidgin English, Kolu said, “Portable brought me to Lagos, I come blow. Na him help my life,” a statement that underscored his sense of loyalty and gratitude to the singer.

The appeal comes amid reports that Portable was remanded in prison on Tuesday by the Federal High Court sitting in Ota, Ogun State. The singer is facing allegations of car theft and assault reportedly involving his baby mama, Ashabi Simple.
Sources further alleged that Portable was handcuffed and physically assaulted while in police custody, although there has been no official confirmation from law enforcement authorities regarding the claim.
Portable, known for his controversial lifestyle and frequent run-ins with the law, has been involved in several legal disputes in recent years, often drawing widespread public attention.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Carter Efe nor Portable’s legal representatives have confirmed whether any financial assistance has been provided or whether steps are being taken to secure the singer’s release.
The case continues to generate debate online, with fans divided over Kolu’s public appeal and the circumstances surrounding Portable’s detention.
