The emergence of a contractual agreement between Nigerian singer, Badmus Okikiola Habeeb, widely known as Portable, and a car dealer, Ogunsanwo Temitope (Temmy Autos), has caused a stir online.
This revelation comes amidst Portable’s recent arrest by Lagos Policemen over an alleged refusal to settle a N14 million debt he incurred from purchasing a G-Wagon from the said car dealer.
It appears that Portable, during the acquisition of the vehicle valued at N27 million, initially paid only N13 million and subsequently declined to settle the outstanding N14 million balance, citing dissatisfaction with the vehicle’s condition.
Nevertheless, the revealed agreement indicates that the singer was obligated to remit the full N27 million for his Mercedes Benz GLE 350 as of February 2024.
A copy of the undertaking which has gone viral revealed that Portable paid N12 million as the initial payment for the car in January 2024 and promised to pay the remaining balance in February 2024.
The document noted that the car dealer has the power to retrieve the Mercedes Benz GLE back from the singer failure to comply with all these agreement or failure to fulfil the payment.
The document reads, “I, BADMUS OKIKIOLA HABEEB (AKA PORTABLE) of the above name and address hereby write this letter of undertaking that I purchase a Mercedes Benz GLE 350 Black colour with CHASIS NUMBER: 4JDA5HB6GA656575 at the rate of Twenty Seven Million Naira Only (N27,000,000.00) which I promise to pay first Payment tomorrow on the 10th of January, 2024, (N12,000,000.00) Second Payment will be on the 24th January, 2024 Five Million naira (N5,000,000.00).
