Portable: I don’t know One Million Boys, I have one million fans

Nigerian music star, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly called Portable, has backed down on his claim of being the founder of a dreaded cult group, One Million Boys.

Following the controversial claim and the order by the Inspector General of Police, Alkali Baba Usman,, to the Lagos police command to investigate him, Portable has taken to the social media to say he did not know One Million Boys but only one million fans.

The singer said he is like a pastor with many followers or a herbalist and alfa with many followers.

The music star also denied claims of being a thief like what the One Million Boys are known for, insisting that he is a child of God.

The IGP on Monday ordered a probe into the claim by Portable that he founded the One Million Boys.

Portable had claimed in a video that he created the group largely made up of youths terrorising residents of Lagos and other states in the South-West. He has deleted the video.

In a statement, the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the Lagos Commissioner of Police had been asked by IGP Baba Usman to investigate Portable.

“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,” the statement by the police read.
