Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba, yesterday ordered a probe into the claim by pop singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, regarding the formation of the notorious One-million Cult Boys cult.

In a trending video, Portable appeared to have said he founded the gang terrorizing parts of Lagos State.

According to a statement issued by Force spokesman CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the IGP directed the Lagos State Police Commissioner to investigate the statement and take necessary legal action.

Adejobi said: “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”.
