In a recent development, the Lagos State Police has apprehended Habeeb Okikiola, known in the music industry as Portable.

SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson for the Lagos command, confirmed that the arrest occurred late Tuesday evening on May 14, 2024. The action followed a formal complaint lodged by an automobile dealer.

The arrest was due to Portable's incomplete payment for a luxury vehicle, a Mercedes Benz GLE, which he had partially paid for.

The singer had initially made a down payment of N14 million for the N27 million vehicle and left with it, promising to settle the remaining amount later.

However, when the dealer demanded the outstanding balance, Portable countered, alleging that the vehicle was defective.

The dealer, seeking resolution, requested either the return of the vehicle or the completion of the payment, neither of which Portable fulfilled.

During the execution of the arrest warrant, Portable made a futile attempt to evade the police by leaping over a gate's fence.

He was promptly captured and escorted to the police station for further processing.
