Portable Fails Bail Conditions, Spends Night in Police Custody

Nigerian street musician, Portable with real name, Habib Okikiola, reportedly spent the night in a police cell as he failed to meet bail conditions set for his release.

Recall that News Central reported earlier that the “zazu” crooner was arrested on Tuesday for refusing to pay a N14 million debt he incurred when he bought a G-wagon valued at N27 million and had only remitted N13 million.

“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,” a source said.

Confirming his arrest, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin said the singer has not presented any reliable surety hence the decision to detain him for over 24 hours. Hundeyin said, “He has presented no reliable surety yet so he (Portable) is still with us.”
