Abuja-based lawyer and human rights activist, Deji Adeyanju, has criticized the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly humiliating singer Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, during his arrest over a failed car purchase deal.
Portable was arrested on Tuesday for refusing to pay the remaining balance of N14 million for a G-Wagon he purchased from a car dealer.
Adeyanju condemned the police action, stating that security agencies are not debt recovery agencies. He emphasized that the police should not have humiliated Portable over a civil matter, as seen in a viral video where plain-clothed policemen forcefully took him away.
Adeyanju’s statement reads: “Our attention has been drawn to a video making the rounds on the internet where Nigerian singer, Mr. Habeeb Okikiola (AKA Portable) was seen being humiliated by persons suspected to be officers of the Nigerian Police Force, in an attempt to forcefully arrest him over a civil matter.”
He further emphasized the need for the police to respect citizens’ rights and dignity, even in the face of disputes or debt recovery.
What is this lawyer saying sef,why did portable refuse to pay in the first place. Abi shey 14 million naira na joke niiii
He deserves it
It’s like you don’t like portable at all 😂
Why will you buy a car you can’t pay for
Portable na you cause your sef
Make them leave my portable for meo the guy na my guy o
I brought this upon himself knowing fully well this could have been avoided
I see him as person who don’t really understand the basis of been a celebrity
He acts however he pleases. No shame at all and it pains me for him. He’s being a disgrace already but let’s hear his side of the story.
My brother to avoid humiliation and disgrace kindly pay the said amount to shame those people
Is he not owing the said amount. Let him pay to avoid the humiliation then
Well portable dey behave anyhow,so he was thinking that celebrity He is will save him not knowing that Nigerians are no longer laughing.
Nobody is above dragging oooo. But the lady also abused power and portable should sue her for it.
Hmm
As his lawyer don interfere now
The case will take a new turn
Please they should allow portable be. He can only be arrested if he refuses to pay his debt and that is if the creditor reports him to them
This is humiliation, but portable self suppose don jejely go with them and settled the matter amiacably
So this portable Dey owe 14 million and he took his wife to Kenya for birthday party
Fake life here and there
