“They deserve it” – Skales reacts to killing of an EFCC officer in Anambra raid, recounts bitter ordeal with them

Nigerian music producer Skales has reacted to the painful death of an Economic and Financial Crime Commission EFCC officer.

Kemi Filani reported that the EFCC official was shot dead while raiding an alleged internet fraudster’s house in Anambra.

Reacting to the news, in a series of tweets, Skales expressed how happy he was over the news as he revealed that he had a similar experience with the commission some years back. Skales revealed that the Commission’s officials raided his home armed with guns in October 2023, and this caused damage to his family as his mother. According to him, out of fear, his mother dropped his 6-month-old daughter, and this left her lips severely damaged. He stated that he is still dealing with the trauma of that incident.

“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 didn’t 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.
Corrupt agency trying to fight corruption, lol. I will never forgive them. They deserve it”.

“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 newborn. Imagine being woken up with 4 AK47s and 3 Sledge glammers like a Gaddamm horror movie and all this because they saw luxurious cars in front of my house”.

When a Twitter user tried defending the Commission, Skales wrote,

“They are not good. They are evil people. That day, they were speaking to Hausa, saying, “They told them it’s an artiste house, but they don’t care.” Little did they know that I understand and speak Hausa. Also, when I replied in Hausa, they all shivered.

I had to move my family to a hotel and I slept at @jaypizzlebeat house for 3 days. I am happy it happened to them for real”.
