Charles Okocha Dismisses Portable’s Win, Discloses N40 Million Fraud

Published

on

In their December celebrity boxing battle, Nollywood actor Charles Okocha has maintained that Nigerian rapper Portable did not win.

In the fifth round of the celebrity boxing match, Portable defeated Charles Okocha, but the Nollywood actor insisted he wasn’t vanquished, saying the singer was the one who gave up on the fight first.

Okocha even went so far as to call the battle a “manipulated” one, stating that the artist, who is far smaller than him, would not be able to defeat him in a professionally run boxing match.

Charles claimed to Punch that “it was manipulated for Portable to win.” “They did not prepare for the fight well enough, and the organizers are not pleased with the outcome of the event. He did not fight the whole rounds as we should have.

“To begin with, the ring was poor quality; it was slick throughout and had not been properly cleaned following earlier fights. Because of this, I stumbled and collapsed in the first round as Portable ran at me, attempting to hit my head. However, I was ahead in the second round, and I remained ahead until the third round. After that, he declared he was done fighting and removed his boxing gloves. You are aware of its portability.

“So, I assumed he would be eliminated because it seems senseless to remove your gloves during combat. That should have resulted in his disqualification, but since it was an exhibition fight, I don’t think he should have been crowned the winner even if it wasn’t. I think a draw would have been fairer if it wasn’t me winning. Despite claims to the contrary, he was declared the winner. I felt really let down.

Remember when Okocha and Portable met in the ring on December 27, 2023, on the eve of the Landmark beach in Lagos, following the Nollywood star’s alleged 40 million naira swindle against the musician?

Therefore, the boxing match’s organizers utilized the match to help them settle their scores. Okocha, however, maintained that he did not con Portable and that the purpose of the purported con was merely to advertise the fight.

Charles Okocha responded, “That is not true at all; he is just talking as he always does,” when questioned about the swindle. I didn’t swindle him out of any money; Portable simply enjoys drama, and this is just one of those things people say to stir up debate before a fight.Because of the excitement on social media, we received an offer from the organizers, which we accepted. We are not having any problems; it was just business.

Charles Okocha, who earlier stated that the fight’s organizers were not happy with the result, has stated that he is prepared for a better-organized rematch that is being arranged by the organizers.

Lizzy Anjorin Questions Court Order Over Priscilla Ojo’s Son

Published

on

Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has questioned the authenticity of an interim order issued by the Lagos State High Court on 2 September 2026, restraining her from publishing photographs of Priscilla Ojo’s one-year-old son, Rakeem Mkambala, and from posting editorials concerning the family on specified social media platforms.

Anjorin raised the issue during an Instagram Live session on Friday, 4 September, after Priscilla shared a copy of the court order online.

The actress argued that publicising court documents before formally serving the respondent undermines the case.

“Your case na dead on arrival. If you post court letter on any platform before serving person wey you wan go serve, that court case na fake court case,” Anjorin said during the live session.

Her comments came shortly after the High Court of Lagos State granted an ex parte application brought by Priscilla, her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Mussa Mkambala, and their son, Rakeem.

Justice Yetunde Adesanya issued the interim order in Suit No. LD/ADR/6646/2026.

The order restrains Anjorin, as well as people acting under her authority, from publishing, posting, circulating, uploading or broadcasting photographs of Rakeem on specified social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and TikTok.

The court also directed Anjorin to cease publishing or broadcasting editorials concerning the applicants on the platforms covered by the order.

An ex parte order is made at an interim stage without the respondent being heard. The order is therefore not a final determination of the dispute and remains subject to further proceedings.

Priscilla shared the certified copy of the order on her Instagram Story on Friday, bringing the legal development into public view.

Anjorin’s reaction centres on the timing and manner in which the court documents were publicised. Her assertion that such publication makes a case “fake” is her own claim and is not a finding contained in the court order.

The development marks another chapter in the prolonged public dispute between Anjorin and Priscilla’s family, particularly Priscilla’s mother, actress Iyabo Ojo.

The disagreement has played out largely on social media and has previously resulted in legal action, including a ₦1 billion defamation suit filed by Iyabo Ojo against Anjorin.

In recent weeks, the dispute has also drawn Priscilla and her young son into the controversy, following public comments by Anjorin concerning the family.
