Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable has denied being the founder of two criminal gangs that terrorised the residents of Lagos during the COVID-19 lockdown.
In a now-deleted video, the musician has claimed that he formed the One Million Boys and Ajah Boys crime gangs. He said at the time, “Open your ears and hear me. You’ve heard about Ajah Boys, One Million Boys, I’m their founder”.
However, in a post he shared on Monday, he denied being a member of the criminal gangs. He wrote,
“Clearing the air on this! Zazu!!. This has come to an end that I have to voice out. Please everyone, I wanna let you know that I didn’t mean to campaign for APC. It was a show they told that I’m going to before I saw myself in APC office. And as a man no need to worry I gats to do the job since it involved money”.
He further stated, “what I meant by 1 million boys is meant 1 million followers. People are threatening my life ooo you should all look into this. I GO BY THE NAME PORTABLE OMOLALOMI, I DO MUSIC FOR LIVING.”
This is coming after the Nigeria Police Force released a statement about the his claims. According to the Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, has ordered Lagos State Police Commissioner to investigate Portable’s statement.
