Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, widely recognized as Portable, was arrested by the Lagos State Police on Tuesday, May 14th.
The arrest revolves around an alleged outstanding debt concerning a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon.
It’s reported that Portable acquired the high-end SUV for N27 million but only settled for N13 million initially. Following this partial payment, the car dealer reportedly contacted Portable regarding the outstanding balance.
However, Portable purportedly declined to complete the remaining payment, citing mechanical issues with the vehicle.
As per Benjamin Hundeyin, the police spokesperson, Portable was arrested after the car dealer filed a complaint.
Videos circulating across online platforms show the moment officers bundled Portable into their car after he resisted arrest.
Portable, in a bid to escape being apprehended, was seen in a video scaling a gate but was later caught.
