Controversial Nigerian entertainer, Portabal according to reports gathered, has been arrested in Lagos, Nigeria.
The singer, and rapper, born by his legal name Habeeb Okikiola was arrested on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, as confirmed by Lagos police command spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin.
According to SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the arrest of Portable, the reason for his arrest was due to his refusal to pay in full the debt he incurred when he bought his G-Wagon from a car dealer.
Reports claim that Portable, who was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday morning during the purchase of the vehicle worth N27m, paid only N13m and refused to pay the N14m balance.
His arrest was caused by the car dealer, who,, after all efforts to get the balance from the rapper proved futile by reporting him to the police command.
