The City Boy Movement has distanced itself from the membership claim of Mr. Adepoju Salako following reports linking him to the socio-political group in connection with an alleged fraud conviction in the United States.

The movement insisted that Salako had never been a member or official of the organisation.

In a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary, Mohammed Abdullahi, and obtained by Arewa PUNCH on Monday, the movement described as false and misleading claims circulating on social media and some online platforms alleging that Salako was affiliated with the group.

The organisation said it was compelled to clarify its position following attempts to associate the individual with the movement in relation to criminal proceedings and a reported conviction arising from alleged fraud-related offences in the United States.

According to the statement, Salako has never held membership or occupied any office within the City Boy Movement at any level.
