Officials from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), said two suspected fraudsters arrested at the Lagos residence of Nigerian musician Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, on Tuesday, confessed that Skales was their mentor.
GOOD EVENING NIGERIA reported how Skales criticized the EFCC for entering his house at midnight, alleging that they had forcibly gained access through a back door using a hammer, claiming it was for a routine check.

The anti-graft agency said the two suspects – Udemba Chukwuemeka( a.k.a Jody) and Jamal Jamiu Onasola( a.k.a. Jamal) – suspected of being involved in a dating scam, described Njeng as their mentor.
