Controversial musician, Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable, has denied his statement that he founded One Million Boys, a notorious cult group terrorising residents of Lagos and Ogun states.
In a video, which went viral on Monday, Portable was heard saying he formed the gang and another notorious group known as Ajah Boys.
“Open your ears and hear me, Have you heard about Ajah Boys, One Million Boys, I’m their founder. Go and ask Sammy larry,” the singer spoke in Yoruba in the now-deleted video.
However, in a follow-up video posted on his Instagram page, Portable retracted his earlier statement.
According to him, the One Million Boys statement means he has one million followers.
“Do you know what One Million Boys means? Fans are called One Million Boys. I cannot fight but I have back up. For instance, a pastor can say he has One Million people behind him, an herbalist has One Million people behind him. I am a child of God; I have plenty of people behind me. If I say One Million Boys, I mean Fans. I am an angel. If you hurt me, I have those that will fight for me.
“I am not a thief. It is not that notorious One Million Boys,” he said in a mixture of Yoruba and pidgin.
Meanwhile, the inspector-general Of police, Usman Baba, has ordered the probe of the music star over his alleged ties to the notorious gang.
