A video has emerged online of how operatives of the Lagos State Police Command treated Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, during his arrest.
In the viral video, the officers were captured manhandling the singer after he attempted to flee.
On Tuesday, men of the Lagos State Police Command apprehended the Zazzu crooner for refusing to pay the debt he incurred when he purchased a Mercedes G-Wagon from a car dealer in the state.
Benjamin Hundeyin, the Command’s spokesperson, who confirmed the development, said the singer only paid N13 million out of the N27 million for the car, adding that he has refused to pay the N14 million balance.
He explained that whenever the car dealer contacted him to pay the balance, he usually claimed that the vehicle was bad.
Hundeyin said, “Portable has been arrested. He bought G-Wagon for N27m, paid N13m, and refused to pay the rest, claiming the vehicle was bad. We arrested him today.”
