Controversial singer, Portable, whom the Lagos Police arrested for allegedly buying a N27 million G-Wagon and reneging on his promise to pay the balance, has been granted bail.
The singer met his bail conditions on Wednesday night and was released.
PREMIUM TIMES reported that the 30-year-old singer was arrested on Tuesday following a petition from the G-Wagon dealer.
The singer allegedly bought the vehicle for N27 million, paid N13 million and agreed to pay the balance later.
However, he got arrested when he didn’t pay the remaining N14 million.
The police spokesperson in Lagos State, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed Portable’s release.
Mr Hundeyin earlier confirmed the Ogun-born singer spent Tuesday night in the cell after he failed to present a reliable surety.
