Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested popular Ota, Ogun State-based musician, Portable.
The emerging King of the street was arrested for allegedly failing to pay the debt he incurred after purchasing his G-Wagon from a car dealer.
The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ hitmaker was said to have bought the vehicle worth N27 million but paid only N13 million.
Portable allegedly refused to pay the remaining N14 million and whenever the car dealer requested his money, he always claimed the vehicle was having issues.
Eyewitnesses said that the singer had tried to evade the police before he was taken to the police station.
In a now-viral video, Portable and some police officers were seen in front of a building. Shortly after Portable was shown his arrest warrant, the singer tried to evade arrest by jumping over the gate.
Benjamin Hundeyin, the state police spokesperson, confirmed Portable’s arrest, stating that operatives went after him, after which he was arrested and taken into custody.
Recall that in March 2023, officers of the Ogun Police Command arrested the”Am Not A Prisoner ” singer over alleged assault.
The arrest came after the expiration of the 72-hour ultimatum given to him to turn himself in.
The singer previously resisted attempts by the police to arrest him and also referred to himself as “a federal government liability”.
Portable gained fame in December 2021 with the release of ‘Zazoo Zeh’, his hit single featuring Olamide and Poco Lee.
Also, he has to his credit songs such as ‘All Eyes On Me’, ‘Clear Azaman’, ‘Neighbour’, and ‘Ogo Forever’.
