The Lagos State Police Command says it has arrested popular musician, Habeeb Okikiola, aka, Portable, for refusing to pay the debt he incurred when he purchased a G-Wagon from a car dealer.
It was gathered that Portable, during the purchase of the vehicle worth N27m, paid only N13m and had so far refused to pay the N14m balance.
It was learnt that whenever the car dealer contacted him for the balance, the singer usually claimed that the vehicle was not in good shape.
When efforts to get Portable to pay the balance proved abortive, the car dealer reported the matter to the police and policemen detailed to investigate the case subsequently arrested Portable.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed that Portable had been arrested.
He said, “Yes, Portable has been arrested. He bought G-Wagon for N27m, paid N13m and refused to pay the rest, claiming the vehicle was bad. We arrested him today.”
