EFCC reacts after Skales cried out online
The EFCC on Tuesday morning, October 10, denied invading the home of popular singer John Njeng-Ngeng best referred to as Skales.
This is coming a few hours after the singer called the commission and its operatives out online, alleging some EFCC officials invaded his home with guns and hammers and destroyed his properties in the process.
Skales claimed,
“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?”
Reacting to the development, in an exclusive phone call with The PUNCH, the EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale, stated that such claims were unfounded.
He noted that the officials of the anti-graft agency do not operate in such a manner.
He stated thus:
“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.”
Oyewale also noted that the incident might be an allegation, as the invaders could be impersonators of the EFCC roaming around.
