The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has debunked claims of invading the home of singer John Njeng-Ngeng best known as Skales.
The singer had in the early hours of Tuesday alleged that some EFCC officials invaded his home with guns and hammers around 4am CAT.
Skales which took the incident to his official X handle 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 6month old daughter, imagine I had a panic attack Cz of my health issues…. Is this not a crime?”
Meanwhile, in a phone call with Punch Online Report, EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale, stated that such claims were false, adding that they do not operate in such manner.
Oyewale 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 said that the invaders might likely be impersonators of the agency.
“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 stated.
