“They Deserve It” – Skales Reacts To Killing Of EFCC Officer During Anambra Raid

Nigerian singer, Skales has stirred controversy with his remarks following the death of an Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officer during a recent raid.

The EFCC official was reportedly shot and killed during an operation at the home of a suspected internet fraudster in Anambra, a development that has sparked heated discussions online.

On Monday, Skales took to his X page to share his thoughts, expressing a lack of sympathy due to a traumatic experience he and his family endured during an EFCC raid in 2023.

According to him, EFCC operatives invaded his home with guns while his newborn baby and other family members were present, leaving him with lingering trauma.

Skales recounted how the officers stormed his home, claiming he could have been harmed if he hadn’t remained calm.

He wrote, “It’s quite unfortunate that someone lost his life but they had it coming imagine the trauma I and my family still face till now.”

“I should be feeling bad but I actually don’t they had it coming .., imagine that day I didnt keep my cool they would have probably switched the story just like they tried to do and shot me or something … I will never forgive them … they had it coming.”

Skales also called out an EFCC officer identified as “Mr. Femi,” accusing him of being responsible for the pain inflicted on his family during the raid.

“That Mr femi … I will never forget that night … I pray your family goes though worst than the trauma you put mine through … Mr femi of efcc that came that day … I wish you a miserable life .. you will suffer worse than what you put innocent people through,” he wrote.

The singer described the terrifying night when EFCC operatives broke into his home unannounced, startling his newborn and his mother.

He wrote, “Well 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 ak47s and 3 sledge hammers like a gaddamn horror movie and all this because they saw luxurious cars in front of my house. Corrupt agency trying to fight corruption lol… I will never forgive them … they deserve it.

“Imagine the trauma … I still wake up every 4-6am 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.”

The EFCC, which has faced criticism for its aggressive tactics during raids, is yet to respond to Skales’ allegations.

Meanwhile, the EFCC has criticized misleading social media posts about the tragic death of its officer, Aminu Salisu, who was shot while conducting a raid in Awka, Anambra State..
