The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba has ordered an investigation into the statement by music artiste, Habeeb Okikiola also known as Portable, that he founded One Million Boys and Ajah Boys, two notorious gangs in Lagos.
The controversial singer made the claim in a now-deleted video on his Instagram page.
“Open your ears and be listening. Have you heard of Ajah Boys, One Million Boys? I founded them,” Portable said in Yoruba.
Police spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on Monday, said the IGP had ordered the Lagos police commissioner to investigate his claim.
The statement read: “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, 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.”
