The Lagos Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed the raid on the home of John Njeng Njeng, a.k.a Skales, on Tuesday.
The anti-graft agency also confirmed the arrest of two suspected internet fraudsters involved in dating scam.
According to a statement by the EFCC seen by Politics Nigeria, the anti-graft agency alleged that the suspects — Udemba Chukwuemeka (a.k.a Jody) and Jamal Jamiu Onasola (a.k.a. Jamal)— described Skales as “their mentor”.
The statement reads: “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).
