Singer Portable has been granted bail after meeting the bail criteria for his release.
This followed his detention for refusing to repay a N14 million debt accrued when he bought a G-Wagon from an auto dealer in Lagos State.
The state’s police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed Portable’s release on Wednesday, May 15. He said, “He’s been granted bail.”
Yesterday, Men of the Lagos state police command arrested singer Portable. The singer was arrested on May 14th following a petition from a car dealer.
Portable allegedly purchased a G-Wagon worth N27 million from the car dealer, made a down payment of N12 million and took the vehicle away with the promise to pay the balance.
After waiting for a while without any word concerning his balance, the dealer contacted the singer, who claimed the car he purchased had faults. The dealer then asked the singer to return the car or pay the balance, but Portable allegedly refused.
Following a petition from the dealer, the police moved in and arrested the singer. The singer jumped his gate in an attempt to stop his arrest. He is currently in custody at the state police headquarters and might spend the night there as the police is yet to receive any surety for his bail.
When contacted, the spokesperson of the Lagos state police command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the singer’s arrest.
