The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has refuted allegations of a home invasion at the residence of the singer John Njeng-Ngeng, also known as Skales.
The singer had claimed on Tuesday morning that individuals purporting to be EFCC officials had entered his home with firearms and hammers.
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?”
As reported by PUNCH, the spokesperson for the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, emphasized that these allegations were baseless and clarified that agents of the anti-graft organization do not conduct their operations in such a fashion.
He said,
“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 pointed out that the incident could potentially be an unsubstantiated claim, suggesting that the intruders might be individuals impersonating EFCC personnel.
“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.
“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 said.

He also called on the singer 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.
