Portable To Remain in Police Custody Over Failure To Meet Bail Conditions

Controversial street musician, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly called Portable, has remained in police custody for failing to meet the bail conditions for his release.

According to the Lagos State Police Command’s spokesman, Benjamin Hudenyin on Wednesday, May 15, the singer will remain in detention pending when he’s able to produce a reliable surety before he can be granted bail. 

Hundeyin said: “He has presented no reliable surety yet so he (Portable) is still with us.”

Recall that the singer was arrested for allegedly refusing to pay the N14 million debt he incurred when he bought a G-Wagon from a car dealer in Lagos State.

When efforts to get Portable to pay the balance proved abortive, the car dealer reported the matter to the police, and policemen detailed to investigate the case arrested the Zazu singer.

When confronted by the police, the singer jumped a gate and made an attempt to escape but was eventually caught by the police.
