Nigerian musician, Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, made headlines on Tuesday as he attempted to evade arrest by jumping over a gate to escape operatives of the Lagos State Police Command. His arrest came in response to a complaint filed by a car dealer to whom he owed money.

Portable had initiated the purchase of an N27 million G-Wagon from the dealer, making an initial payment and promising to settle the remaining amount later. However, when confronted by police officers, he attempted to flee the scene. In a video circulating on social media, Portable, dressed in a white and black striped shirt, can be seen engaging in a conversation with the officers before suddenly leaping over a nearby gate and making a run for it. He was later apprehended by four police operatives and taken into custody.

Confirming the arrest, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, explained that Portable had purchased the G-Wagon for N27 million, paid N13 million, and refused to pay the remaining balance, claiming the vehicle was faulty.

This isn't the first time Portable has found himself in trouble with the law. In 2023, he was arrested and arraigned over allegations of assault on a former signee. Despite police requests for him to surrender, Portable evaded arrest until he was eventually picked up at his residence in Ota.

Portable, known for his controversial nature, rose to fame with his hit single "Zazuu," featuring rapper Olamide, in 2021.
