Nigerian kartist, Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, widely recognized as Skales, alleged that on the 9th of October 2023, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, intruded into his residence at night, wielding firearms, and intimidating him in front of his family and employees.

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 ?

Skales asserted that the anti-graft officials involved claimed to be conducting routine checks but ended up causing damage to his property.

He emphasized that he has never engaged in criminal activities or fraud throughout his life.

They said they got an intel that I’m into fraud lol
They said it’s a routine check

Skales mentioned that he had just returned from an event and was attempting to put his daughter to sleep when this incident occurred.

In response, the EFCC’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, refuted the allegations, stating that Skales’ claims were baseless and asserting that the anti-graft agency does not carry out operations in such a manner.
