Nigerian music artiste, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly called Portable, has passed the night in a police cell following his failure to meet the bail conditions set for his release after he was arrested for refusing to pay the N14m debt he incurred when he purchased a G-Wagon from a car dealer in Lagos State.
A source, who spoke to our correspondent on Wednesday, confirmed the development.
The source said when Portable was arrested Tuesday, bail conditions were set for his release and he failed to meet the bail conditions.
“He is still in police custody as we speak. When he paid N13m for the G-Wagon that cost N27m and refused to pay the balance, the car dealer asked him to return the vehicle when his excuse was that it was bad but he also refused,” the source said.
Confirming that Portable passed the night in a police cell after he was arrested, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, when contacted on Wednesday, said the musician was still in the custody of the police.
Hundeyin said, “He has presented no reliable surety yet so he (Portable) is still with us.”
