EFCC oppressed me in front of my daughter, wife – Singer Skales cries out
Skales, the well-known singer, whose real name is Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of misconduct, alleging that heavily armed EFCC agents entered his residence and falsely accused him of being involved in fraudulent activities.
According to Skales, the incident occurred on Monday night while he was sleeping with his six-month-old daughter. He stated that around three EFCC operatives forcefully entered his house through the backdoor, causing him to experience a panic attack due to his existing health problems.
The ‘Shake Body’ artist also alleged that his record producer sustained injuries during the confrontation with the EFCC agents.
Skales expressed his outrage in a series of tweets, denouncing the actions of the EFCC. He contended that the intrusion into his home was unwarranted and constituted a criminal act. He further asserted his innocence, emphasizing that he has never engaged in fraudulent activities.
In his tweets, Skales wrote, “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 6 months 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 done 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.
“They hit my producer with a stick on his leg. Imagine @officialEFCC una father! You guys are a criminal organization… it’s sad the kind of power you are given… that’s why you’re abusing it… enikure.”
Renowned Nigerian musician Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has suggested that he belongs in the same league as Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.
Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy are widely recognized as the foremost Nigerian/Afrobeats artists globally and are collectively referred to as the “Big 3.”
Rema is now asserting his position among this elite group. In a recent social media post, the ‘Calm Down’ singer stated that he now considers himself part of this league, stating: “No more Big 3, there’s now a Big 4.”
His statement has sparked mixed reactions, with some agreeing with him while others argue that despite his achievements in streaming and chart performance, he still needs years of consistent success to fully earn that status.
Renowned musician David Adeleke, also known as Davido, recently asserted during an appearance on an American podcast, ‘Business Untitled,’ that his family plays a significant role in Nigeria’s energy sector by operating four power plants. According to him, these power plants make substantial contributions to Nigeria’s electricity supply.
In discussing his family’s business ventures and personal investments, Davido mentioned his brief foray into cryptocurrency due to its popularity in Nigeria. He also highlighted his family’s involvement in the energy sector, emphasizing their ownership of four lucrative power plants that distribute electricity across a considerable portion of Nigeria.
Additionally, Davido disclosed plans to venture into the restaurant business with his wife, who has a passion for culinary arts. However, he reiterated that his primary focus remains on his music career.
While Davido’s family boasts wealth and investments in the energy sector, some observers may dispute his claim that their power plants supply the majority of Nigeria’s energy needs. The Nigerian government owns most of the significant thermal and hydropower plants in the country.
Controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable, has pleaded with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to forgive him if they have any evidence against him abusing the Naira.
He said it was never his intention to mutilate the Naira, stressing that he only sprays money to help the masses.
Speaking in a recent Instagram live session, Portable noted that he respects constituted authority.
He said, “After God na government. I’m not mutilating the naira. I only help a lot of people. If you see me spraying money please forgive me.”
DAILY POST reports that the EFCC is set to arraign popular socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, aka Cubana Chief Priest for Naira abuse, days after crossdresser Bobrisky was sent to prison for similar offence.
