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 in the presence of the uniformed men.
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 twisted his body amid the strong holds on his hands and legs, and it seemed like he was going to drop into the gutter while the policemen held him to cross.
However, a spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command confirmed that he has since been arrested.
