The arrest was confirmed by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, who stated, “Yes, Portable has been arrested. He bought a G-Wagon for N27m, paid N13m, and refused to pay the rest, claiming the vehicle was faulty. We arrested him today.”
Portable is the perfect definition of “Money can’t buy class or respect”
