The Lagos State Police Command apprehended the popular musician Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, on Tuesday.
Portable was arrested for failing to settle a debt he incurred when purchasing a G-Wagon from a car dealer in the state.
According to the report, Portable only paid N13 million out of the N27 million for the vehicle and has since refused to pay the remaining N14 million.
He often claimed that the vehicle was in poor condition whenever the car dealer requested payment of the balance.
After repeated failed attempts to collect the outstanding amount, the car dealer reported the matter to the police.
