Nigerian musician Skales had issues with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) after they searched his home. He felt that they were treating him unfairly and wrongly accusing him of being involved in fraud. Here’s what occurred and why he was upset.
Skales, the Nigerian musician, took to his Twitter account to accuse the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of raiding his home, oppressing him, and falsely assuming he was involved in fraud. He expressed his anger and frustration over the situation.
Skales tweeted, “God go purnish una @officialEFCC I am not a criminal, I have never done fraud in my life, you came in with guns to oppress me in front of my daughter and her mother & my staffs. You will never prosper in anything you do as long as you’re EFCC staff! You will always be a failure.”
He continued by saying, “There’s nothing anyone can tell me again!! @officialEFCC is a criminal organization…you better come pay for my properties that you have destroyed!! Stupid people…I just got back from an event, tried to put my daughter to sleep, then you wake me up to nonsense…una papa.”

EFCC replies Skales
EFCC’s spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, released a statement denying the allegations made against the anti-graft agency. He clarified that EFCC officials do not engage in the actions described by Skales.
Oyewale explained, “First, we don’t invade. Second, we don’t conduct raids. Third, there are specific protocols to identify genuine EFCC operatives. So, these claims don’t align with how EFCC operations work.”
He emphasized the importance of verifying allegations against any organization and urged Skales to provide evidence to support his claims, stating, “If he has photo or video evidence to prove it’s an EFCC operation, we encourage him to come forward because we don’t engage in such activities.”
