Nigerian rapper and songwriter, Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, known by his stage name, Skales, has called for the scrapping of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Naija News reported that the anti-graft agency has been criticized by most Nigerians on social media for allegedly raiding citizens’ houses in the wee hours on allegations of internet scam.
Recall that a staff of the anti-graft agency was shot dead in Awka, Anambra State, during a recent raid.
Reacting to the wee hours’ raid allegation, Skales narrated that officials of EFCC allegedly invaded his house because they saw luxurious cars in his house.
“When they came to my house they didn’t, ask they didn’t knock they just broke the door and I’m not a fraudster plus my whole family was there with me including my new born … imagine being woken up with 4 Ak 47s and 3 sledge hammers like a gaddamn horror movie and all this because they saw luxurious cars in front of my house (sic),” he narrated.
The ‘Shake Body’ crooner added that after the incident had continued to live with the trauma.
“Imagine the trauma … I still wake up every 4-6 am to look outside my window if someone is trying to break in … they also act like criminals and scare the living shit out of the innocent.. If you’ve never experienced them you will never understand the scar and trauma they live on you and I’ve never committed such crime in my life… so they had it coming I don’t care (sic),” he stated.
Skales called for scrapping the organization or a reform. He accused the agency of abusing power and extorting young citizens.
“That organization need to be scraped out or reformed but we all know there’s no such thing as reform in this country…I use to rate them but till I found out they use that organization to abuse power and extort young people of money (sic),” he added.
