The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has denied allegations made by singer John Njeng-Ngeng aka Skales, that its operatives invaded his home.
Kemi Filani had reported that Skales took to social media on Tuesday morning to claim that EFCC officials raided his house with guns and hammers.
“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?” he wrote
But in a phone call with Punch, EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale, insisted that officials of the anti-graft agency do not operate in such a 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.”
He also noted that the incident might be an allegation, as the invaders could be impersonators of the EFCC roaming around.
