Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, aka Portable, left many people in stitches on the evening of Tuesday, May 14, after a video showed him jumping a gate to avoid being arrested.
Some officers of the Nigeria Police Force caught up with the singer and his wife for allegedly failing to pay the sum of N14 million he owed for his G-Wagon, worth N27 million.
After several attempts by the car dealer to get the singer to return the car or pay the balance, a petition was filed against the Brotherhood hitmaker.
A video saw the street act jumping a black gate as he attempted to escape from the uniformed men who came to arrest him.

Another footage made the rounds online, showing Portable being carried by the officers after he tried to run from them.
At some point in the video, he twirled his body amid the many hands holding his hands and legs, and it seemed like he was going to drop into the gutter while the policemen tried to bundle him into the waiting car.
A spokesperson for the Lagos state police command confirmed that he has since been taken into custody.
