The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed raiding the residence of rapper John Njeng Njeng aka Skales.
The anti-graft agency’s spokesman Dele Oyewale had earlier on Tuesday debunked claims made by Skales that he was assaulted during the raid in the presence of his family.
Mr Oyewale had told PUNCH that such claims were unfounded, adding that officials of the EFCC do not operate in such a manner.
However, on Tuesday afternoon, the agency said in a statement that it arrested two suspected internet fraudsters at Skales’ residence.

The statement published on X said, “Operatives of the Lagos Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday, October 10, 2023, arrested two suspected internet fraudsters at House F10, Victoria Crest 4, Lekki, Lagos. The suspects: Udemba Chukwuemeka (a.k.a Jody) and Jamal Jamiu Onasola (a.k.a. Jamal) were arrested at the residence of a musician: John Njeng Njeng (a.k.a Skales).
“The two suspects, suspected of being involved in a dating scam, described Njeng as their ‘mentor’. While Chukwuemeka has been in Njeng’s residence for two years, Onasola has only stayed there for a few months.
“They will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.”
