EFCC finally speaks on invading Singer Skales’ house
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has denied allegations made by singer John Njeng-Ngeng aka Skales, that its operatives invaded his home at midnight.
Skales had taken to social media on Tuesday morning to claim that EFCC officials raided his house heavily armed at midnight to harass him.
“So #officialEFCC pulled up to my house with 3 men with guns and some with sticks and hammers lol, they broke my back door while I was sleeping on the bed with my 6month old daughter, imagine I had a panic attack Cz of my health issues…. Is this not a crime?”
“God go punish una @officialEFCC. I am not a criminal, I have never don fraud in my life, you came in with guns to oppress me in front of my daughter and her mother & my staff. you will never prosper in anything you do as long as you’re Efcc staff! You will always be a failure”, he wrote.
But in a phone call with Punch, EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale, insisted that officials of the anti-graft agency do not operate in such a manner.
Oyewale said, “Number 1, we don’t invade. Number 2, we don’t conduct any raids. Number 3, there are ways and rules to identify a regular EFCC operative.
“So, to all intents and purposes, all of his claims, they are totally removed from what an EFCC operation looks like.”
He also noted that the incident might be an allegation, as the invaders could be impersonators of the EFCC roaming around.
