The singer had purchased a Mercedes Benz GLE 350 from a car dealer, identified as Ogunsanwo Temitope (Temmy Autos), in Lagos but failed to complete the payment.
It was gathered that Portable had paid only N13 million after purchasing the vehicle, which was worth N27 million. He was said to have refused to pay the N14 million balance which led to the involvement of the police.
