Portable announced this on his Instagram page, sharing photos of himself with his father and other high-ranking officers at the Lagos police headquarters on Tuesday evening.

After spending 24 hours in custody, the “Zazuu” crooner shared a snippet of his new song “Spiderman” in response to his arrest for defaulting on a car payment plan.
Produced by 2tuponthebeat, the song references the singer’s escape, likening it to having flying powers as he jumped over a gate to evade arrest.
The incident, captured in a video that circulated on Tuesday, shows the singer dressed in a white and black striped shirt. He stood alongside eight other people and was seen climbing over a nearby gate before fleeing.
