EFCC arrests 2 suspected internet fraudsters at Skales’ home after denying invasion 

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, said they arrested two suspected internet fraudsters at the residence of singer, John Njeng Njeng aka Skales, after denying invading his home.

The commission confirmed the arrest in a statement posted on its official X page, formerly known as Twitter on Tuesday afternoon.

The post 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.”

Recall that spokesman of the EFCC, Dale Oyewale earlier denied report that the operatives invaded the home of singer, Skales.

Oyewale claimed that officials of the anti-graft agency do not operate in such a manner.

Wakadaily reported how the musician called them  out for raidings his house with guns and hammers at midnight.
