The controversial artist Portable is the subject of an investigation by Usman Alkali Baba, the inspector general of police (IGP), after Portable boasted that he formed two infamous cult groups in Lagos.
Muyiwa Adejobi, the police spokesman, broke the news in a short statement on Monday evening.
Portable had earlier claimed he founded the ‘Ajah Boys’ and ‘One Million Boys’ cult groups.
“Cultism: Police to Investigate Portable over formation of One Million Boys 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,” the statement reads.
“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 cult organization "One Million Boys" gained notoriety for terrorizing locals in several areas of Lagos state in the past.
If he really did found the organization as he stated, it remains to be seen. On social media, people have continued to respond strongly to his claim.
The singer of "Zazoo Zeh" has been in the news recently due to his alleged conflict of interest during the recent Osun state election.
