Nigerian popular singer, Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, widely known as Skales, has criticised the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following the invasion of his residences by the heavily armed operatives.

The music artiste claimed the EFCC operatives broke into his house wrongly accused him of being a fraudster, and molested him in the presence of his daughter.

Skales disclosed he was in his house on Monday night with his six-month-old daughter when three anti-graft agency operatives broke in through the backdoor.

The 'Shake Body' crooner said he had a panic attack because of some health issues he is dealing with.

He also claimed his record producer was injured by the EFCC operatives.

In a series of tweets, Skales wrote, "So @officialEFCC pulled up to my house with 3 men with guns and some with sticks and hammers lol, they broke my back door while I was sleeping on the bed with my 6 months old daughter, imagine I had a panic attack Cz of my health issues.... Is this not a crime?

"God go punish una @officialEFCC I am not a criminal, I have never done fraud in my life, you came in with guns to oppress me in front of my daughter and her mother & my staff. You will never prosper in anything you do as long as you're EFCC staff! You will always be a failure.

"They hit my producer with a stick on his leg. Imagine @officialEFCC una father! You guys are a criminal organization...it's sad the kind of power you are given.. that's why you're abusing it... enikure."
