The Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, has ordered investigation of popular musician ‘Portable’ over his claimed links with deadly cult groups in Lagos.
The IGP issued the directive to investigate the musician as a response to his claim in the viral video that he formed the One Million Boys cult group known to have terrorized parts of Lagos.
The Force Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Olumuyiwa Adejobi, a Chief Superintendent of Police, said in a statement on Monday that the IGP ordered the investigation as part of the efforts to drastically reduce the menace of cultism in the society.
The statement reads, “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.”
