A U-turn has been made by Nigerian singer Portable, who now denies being the leader of the two gangs that terrorized Lagos citizens during the COVID-19 lockdown.
In a now-deleted video, Portable had bragged about founding the criminal organizations One Million Boys and Ajah Boys.
On July 18, 2022, the musician published a fresh post on his Instagram account in which he refuted claims that he belonged to any gangs.
"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 wrote.
"And 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 hours after Portable said he was the founder of two gangs in Lagos “Open your ears and hear me, you’ve heard about Ajah Boys, One Million Boys, I’m their founder.”
Regarding the singer's claims, the Nigeria Police Force issued a statement right afterwards.
The Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, has instructed the Lagos State Police Commissioner to look into Portable's remark, according to the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi.
“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," he tweeted.
“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.”
