….I Didn’t Form Cult Gangs, Portable responds
Following the visual released by controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola aka Portable where he claimed to have formed the One-Million Boys cult group terrorising some parts of Lagos State, the police is set to investigate such claims.
According to the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi who posted on his twitter account, he said the Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba has “ordered the CP Lagos to investigate the indicting statement and take necessary legal action.
“This directive is premised on the continuous effort of the Nigeria Police Force to fish out pillars and sponsors of cult groups in order to decimate their activities and restore sanity to our society.”
Portable had in a now-deleted video boasted that he formed the One Million Boys and Ajah Boys crime gangs.
The musician who gained fame last year on account of his street music is notorious for making unguarded statements and threatening persons and groups in his videos that is seen in the internet.
He has now denied the statement he made in the video that he is the founder of the cult group, One Million Boys.
In a new post shared via his Instagram page on Monday, July 18, 2022, the singer denied being a member of the criminal gangs.
“Clearing the air on this! Zazu!! This has come to an end that I have to voice out… please everyone I wana let you know that I didn’t meant to campaign for APC it was a show they told that am going to before I saw myself in APC office and as a man no need to worry I gats to do the job since it involved money,” he wrote
“And what I meant by 1 million boys is meant 1 million followers. People are threatening my life ooo you should all look into this. I GO BY THE NAME PORTABLE OMOLALOMI, I DO MUSIC FOR LIVING.”
Portable recently was invited by the Ogun State Police Command on his involvement in a physical assault on an associate of his.
This is coming hours after Portable said he was the founder of two gangs in Lagos “Open your ears and hear me, you’ve heard about Ajah Boys, One Million Boys, I’m their founder.”
The Nigeria Police Force immediately released a statement about the singer’s claims.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi said the Inspector General of Police Usman Baba has ordered Lagos State Police Commissioner to investigate Portable’s statement.
“Cultism: Police to Investigate Portable over formation of One Million Boys Sequel to the trending video of one Habeeb Okikiola aka Portable where he claimed to have formed the One-Million Boys cult group terrorising some parts of Lagos State,” he tweeted.
“The IGP has ordered CP Lagos to investigate the indicting statement and take necessary legal action. This directive is premised on the continuous effort of the Nigeria Police Force to fish out pillars and sponsors of cult groups in order to decimate their activities and restore sanity to our society.”
