Usman Baba, the Inspector-General of Police, has mandated an investigation into a defamatory claim made by disgraced musician Portable that he established the infamous One Million Boys cult.
According to InsightnaijaTV, Portable stated in a now-deleted video that he founded the famed Lagos cult groups Ajah Boys and One Million Boys.
“Listen to me carefully, have you heard of Ajah Boys or One Million Boys? I founded those groups, go and ask Sammy Larry,” he said in the 6 seconds clip.
Remember how the One Million Boys cult terrorized the people of Lagos during the COVID-19 lockdown?
In numerous sites around the state, there were complaints of the youngsters breaking into residences and robbing locals.
Boys, most of whom are teens, frequently move in their hundreds while brandishing lethal weapons, hurting individuals who do not willing to part with their possessions.
In a statement in response to the video, the force’s PPRO, Muyiwa Adejobi, said: “Sequel to the trending video of one Habeeb Okikiola aka Portable where he claimed to have founded the One-Million Boys cult group terrorizing 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 to decimate their activities and restore sanity to our society.”
