The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has disclosed that they arrested two suspected internet fraudsters at the residence of musician, John Njeng Njeng best known as Skales.
EFCC made this known in a statement shared on their official X page on Tuesday, October 10.
The statement read, “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.”
Singer John Njeng-Ngeng, popularly known as Skales, in the early hours of Tuesday had cried out for help over an alleged invasion of his home by EFCC officials.
Reacting to this, EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale, debunked the claims, saying that it is unfounded.
