In reaction to these allegations, the EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale debunked allegations in a recent statement.
Oyewale explained, “First, we don’t invade. Second, we don’t conduct raids. Third, there are specific protocols to identify genuine EFCC operatives. So, these claims don’t align with how EFCC operations work.”
He emphasised the importance of verifying allegations against any organisation, considering the prevalence of impersonations.
According to him, “People can make allegations, but it’s crucial to match them with the actual facts.”
Furthermore, the EFCC Spokesman urged the singer to provide evidence to support his claims, adding that “If he has photo or video evidence to prove it’s an EFCC operation, we encourage him to come forward because we don’t engage in such activities.”
In response to the statement released by the EFCC spokesperson, Skales wrote on X, “They ceased my fone after checking and they saw nothing but my neighbors recorded them beating up one of my neighbors”
Skales further shared videos on his “x” timeline, adding these are some of the things his neighbors also passed through.
