How we arrested two internet fraudsters in Skales’ house – EFCC

The operatives of the Lagos Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC), have arrested two suspected internet fraudsters at the residence of a Nigerian popular singer, Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, widely known as Skales.

The EFCC made this known on Tuesday via an X post, disclosing the names of the two alleged criminals as Udemba Chukwuemeka (a.k.a Jody) and Jamal Jamiu Onasola (a.k.a. Jamal).

According to the anti-graft agency, the duo were nabbed in Skales’ Lekki residence and accused of engaging in duping unsuspecting persons in the romance scam.


Earlier, Vanguard reported that Skales slammed the EFCC officials for invading his house on Monday night and assaulting him and his producer in the process.

The musician labelled the EFCC as a criminal organisation for breaking into his house with its officials carrying guns, sticks, hammers, and others.

Reacting a few hours later, EFCC said, “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 dating scam, described Njeng as their ” mentor”. While Chukwuemeka has been in Njeng’s residence for two years, Onasola has only stayed there for few months.

“They will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.”

“The two suspects, suspected of being involved in dating scam, described Njeng as their ” mentor”. While Chukwuemeka has been in Njeng’s residence for two years, Onasola has only stayed there for few months.

So he is right after all. It was EFCC that raided his house.

He left out the part we are just learning about now that the suspects were his mentees. Check my signature for free stuffs!

fourboys:
But dey denied it first

He too didn't give any cue that the suspects had something to do with crime. I thought it was a case of wrong address because he is a known face and no one would immediately link him with internet fraud.

Our security agencies lack coordination's

Deny, confirm,deny...thats all they do

Only difference between these fraudsters and Thïefnubu is that the druggie has so far managed to cover his criminal tracks. 👋

Oya oo.....Chukwuemeka, Onasola Jamalu. Make una come defend unaself o. Na true say Efcc gbab una for Skales room??

FREESTUFFNG....

Missad Forces are killing your darling HAMAS Mercilessly.

DEATH TO ALL ISLAMIC TERRORIST AND GOD BLESS ISRAEL

Nice one

EFCC and DSS need to be disbanded and their headquarters demolished for always denying and later confirming. They're a source of shame to Nigeria.

Good.

The EFCC made this known on Tuesday via an X post, disclosing the names of the two alleged criminals as Udemba Chukwuemeka (a.k.a Jody) and Jamal Jamiu Onasola (a.k.a. Jamal).

According to the anti-graft agency, the duo were nabbed in Skales’ Lekki residence and accused of engaging in duping unsuspecting persons in the romance scam.

So why all the unnecessary accusations and counter-accusations flying around since yesterday?

CoronaVirusPro:
What happens when you mixing internet fraud and music.

Which music you mean? Skales when no even get music talent be hiding under music cover

APC and denial is like 6 and half a dozen.

Anything they rush to deny will always come out 100% factual

So, if the guy hadn't provided that video evidence, you wouldn't have itted that you burgled his house in the middle of the night!

Irresponsible people running key government institutions!

I thought they initially denied

something they initially denied

First they deny coming to his house, now they’re saying they arrested people in his house. Lies upon lies.

So, both parties were not sincere about the report after all.

Sirmwill:
But they denied it at first

And Skales didn't say that there was an arrest.
All these people sef
They should have arrested Skales their mentor also

EFCC DID NOT DENY GOING TO SKALES' HOUSE THEY DENIED BREAKING INTO HIS HOUSE.

GOING INTO ONES' HOUSE VS BREAKING INTO ONE'S HOUSE!

But you people denied going to his house

Under the evil APC all government agencies tell unnecessary lies and even malicious lies.

Believe anything coming from the APC government and it's agencies at your own peril.

Their master is Tilumbu the drug sniffing vagabond and certificate forgery master. Such lies is in his DNA and he is spreading such tendencies all over the country.

This naija matter self tire person

Las las everyone na thief, efcc denied it n skales too didn’t mention d arrest part

Like seriously there’s nothing in showbiz, once u are no longer in d limelight then that’s d end

No wonder many of them go into crime as back up plan, like seriously I prefer to b an established business man with steady income n potential to grow business than being all these yeyebrities that always go broke max 6 years after their reign
