The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, has ordered the investigation of controversial musician, Portable, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola, over his declaration that he founded the notorious gangs – One Million Boys and Ajah Boys.
The two gangs have over the years been terrorizing some parts of Lagos State.
In a video which has gone viral, Portable, who spoke in Yoruba said: “Open your ears and be listening. Have you heard of Ajah Boys, One Million Boys? I founded them.”
The Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, announced the IGP’s directive for a probe of the musician known in a statement on Monday.
He said the directive was 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.
The statement reads in full:
“Cultism: Police to Investigate Portable over formation of One Million Boys
