October 10, (THEWILL) – The Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has confirmed the arrest of two suspected internet fraudsters at House F10, Victoria Crest 4, Lekki, Lagos.
The anti-graft agency, in a statement posted on its verified X handle on Tuesday, said the suspects; Udemba Chukwuemeka (a.k.a Jody) and Jamal Jamiu Onasola (a.k.a. Jamal), were arrested at the residence of a popular artiste, 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 post read.
THEWILL reports that Singer, Skales, had earlier said EFCC operatives invaded his house and broke down his door in the early hours of Tuesday.
The musician, who accused the operatives of confiscating his mobile phone and those of his guests, said one of the EFCC officials threatened him.
“Now, one of them whose name is Femi called me, threatening that he can rope me into something because of my outburst on social media.
“An outburst caused by the unprofessional manner in which they gained entry into my home at 4 am while I had my six-months-old child and her mum sleeping”, Skales said.
