The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has admitted arresting two internet fraudsters as singer, John Njeng Njeng, popularly known as Skales, alleged his home was invaded.
Quest Times reports that the commission via its official X handle, announced that its Lagos Command had effected the arrests of two suspected internet fraudsters at the singer’s residence.
Although the law enforcement agency did not expressly address the allegation of home invasion, it established that the singer accommodated two men who described him as their ‘mentor’ and are being suspected of involvement in a dating scam.
The EFCC stated the duo in its custody would be “charged to court as soon as investigations were concluded.”

Recall that Skales in a series of tweets on his X handle on Tuesday, October 10, accused the EFCC officials of raiding his house fully armed and causing damage to his property.
Skales had also expressed concern over his health and the safety of his six-month-old daughter whom he claimed his wife mistakenly dropped during the invasion in a recent tweet.
