Afrobeats artiste Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, better known as Skales has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of illegally raided his house at 4 a.m. on Tuesday.
Skales who performed during the grand finale of the BBN All Stars said on X account (formerly known as Twitter), that personnel of the anti- graft agency stormed his house while he was with his 6-month-old daughter and family. He alleged that the invading EFCC agents hit his producer with a stick.
โImagine these people pulling up like this to a room where my 6-month-old and my daughter and her were sleeping.
โThey destroyed my back door. How do you threaten to rope an innocent person into something he did not do? Is that not illegal?I guess this is where my lawyer will step in. I am still shivering because it just dawned on me that this happened to me in front of my family and Iโm scared now”.
Skales went on to say an agency staff, called to threaten him:
โNow one of them whose name is Femi called me threatening that he could rope me into something because of my outburst on social media. An outburst caused by the unprofessional manner in which they gained entry into my home at 4 a.m., while I had my 6-month-old child and her mum sleeping”.
The 32-year-old further claimed, โMeaning they did not find โanythingโ illegal on myself and the remaining others which are my daughter, DJ Spicey and my daughterโs nannies which is why we were not arrested.
โThe EFCC alleged that they found โthingsโ in the phones of the two people they arrested who came to make music with me. One escorted the producer Iโm working with to my house and the other is an artiste Iโm helping to shape his careerโฆ
โEven when I went outside to ask who would fix my back door, they said I should go back inside. They ceased my phone after checking and they saw nothing but my neighbours recorded them beating up one of my neighbours. Iโm so scared right now my daughter is still crying.โ(sic)
