On Tuesday, the Lagos State Police Command detained popular singer Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, for refusing to repay a debt acquired when he purchased a G-Wagon from a car dealer in the state.
According to PUNCH Online, Portable paid only N13m for the vehicle and refused to pay the remaining N14m payment.
