Just In: Portable Released from Custody After Meeting Bail Conditions

The Lagos State Police Command has released musician Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, after he spent a night in custody.

The Lagos State Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the release to Vanguard this evening, stating that Portable was freed earlier this afternoon.

When asked if Portable had resolved the underlying issues, Hundeyin responded, “I have no idea about it, but what I can say is that he has been granted bail.”

Portable, known for his hit song ‘Zazzu,’ was detained on Tuesday over an alleged debt related to his purchase of a Mercedes Benz GLE 350 from Ogunsanwo Temitope, also known as Temmy Autos. Reports indicate that Portable had only paid N13 million out of the N27 million cost of the vehicle, leaving an outstanding balance of N14 million.
