‘Saazoo’ singer, Portable is still in a police cell in Lagos.
The state police command confirmed this on Wednesday, saying the artiste had not met condition for bail.
Portable was arrested on Tuesday after the dealer that sold G-Wagon to him accused him of failing to pay the N14m he allegedly owed from the transaction.
Spokesperson for the police, Benjamin Hundeyin, said on Wednesday: “He has presented no reliable surety yet so he (Portable) is still with us.”
Reports have it that the musician struggled to evade arrest, as evident in two viral videos showing the moments policemen attempted to arrest Portable, our correspondent observed in one of the videos that Portable attempted to evade arrest when he fled the scene.
The policemen, who gave him a hot chase, caught up with him and pinned him down.
Despite pinning him down, our correspondent, while observing the second video, saw that Portable was resisting arrest by four policemen who carried and dumped him inside a vehicle.
The video clips had been generating diverse reactions.
While some people condemned Portable for resisting arrest, some others blamed him for ridiculing his status in society by not paying the N14m balance incurred during the purchase of the vehicle.
PUNCH Online had reported that Portable, during the purchase of the vehicle worth N27m, paid only N13m and had refused to pay the N14m balance.
Despite several failed attempts to get him to pay the balance, the car dealer, who claimed that Portable’s excuse for not paying was that the vehicle was bad, reported to the police.
