The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has denied invading the home of popular singer Skales, professionally known as John Njeng-Ngeng.
Skales earlier claimed that the EFCC broke into his home while he was home with his 6-month-old daughter, causing him to panic.
“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?”
Oyewale stated that the EFCC does not operate in such a manner and that Skales’ claims are “totally removed from what an EFCC operation looks like.” Skales wrote on his X (formerly Twitter)
In a statement released Tuesday, EFCC spokesman Dele Oyewale refuted Skales’ earlier allegations of a raid by EFCC officials carrying firearms and hammers.
He also noted that the incident might be an allegation, as the invaders could be impersonators of the EFCC.
“People can make allegations but the authenticity of the allegation viz a viz the reality on the ground concerning any organisation you’re talking about is important,” Oyewale said. “There are impersonations all around, all over the place. So, they are not. We are very polite. We don’t do all those things.”
Oyewale also called on Skales to show evidence of his claims.
“And I will want him to come forward, if he has photo evidence or video evidence, to show that’s it’s an EFCC thing, because we don’t have such things,” Oyewale added.
