The Lagos State Police Command has apprehended popular Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, for allegedly refusing to pay the balance of a G-Wagon vehicle he purchased from a car dealer.
NigeriaNewsToday gathered that the singer was arrested on Tuesday in the Abule Egba area of Lagos.
The development was confirmed by the police spokesman in the state, Benjamin Hundeyin.
He said, “Portable was arrested in the Abule Egba area of Lagos on Tuesday.”
The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ crooner was reported to have bought the vehicle worth ₦27 million but paid only ₦13 million.
In a viral video, Portable was seen to have scaled a gate when policemen approached him with an arrest warrant to follow them.
Another viral video, however, showed him being dragged, handcuffed and wheelbarrowed by about four policemen into a waiting vehicle.
In the video the voice of a lady, who identified herself as the car dealer, was heard in the background, spewing expletives and telling how Portable threatened her when she demanded that he discharge the debt.
Police spokesman (Hundeyin) said the police expect the lawyers of the singer to show up on Wednesday morning.
He said the singer might be taken to court, depending on the discussions with his lawyers.
