The Inspector-General Of Police, Usman Baba, has ordered the probe of music star, Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, over his alleged ties to One Million Boys, a notorious gang.
In a video that went viral on Monday, Portable was heard admitting that he founded both the gang and the famed Ajah Boys gang.

“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 Yoruba in the now-deleted video.
However, reacting to the singers statement, Muyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, in a statement, said the Lagos Commissioner of Police has been asked 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.”
Recall last month how the Ogun State Police Command had on June 20, 2022, threatened to declare the singer wanted after 48 hours if he failed to report himself for organising some youths to beat up his estranged friend identified as DJ Chicken.
Almost no month has passed since Portable came to prominence in December 2021 as a result of the publication of his song “Zazu Zeh,” without him being in the news
Just few hours earlier ago, the singer received backlash for praising PDP senator Ademola Adeleke, who won the governorship of Osun State, after having backed the opposition.
