Skales Reveals Why He Dislikes the Nigerian Police

Nigerian singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, has shared his strong aversion to the Nigeria Police Force, citing a personal experience when he was unjustly detained. The artist explained that his dislike for the police is rooted in a past incident where he found himself in custody for over 24 hours due to an issue involving his ex-manager.

In a recent episode of The Time podcast hosted by Victoria Gure and Folasade Abimbola, Skales disclosed the details of his encounter with the police. He emphasized his disdain for the Nigerian police and expressed his passion for disliking them. He recounted the situation in which he and his former manager were detained, stating that it was initially his ex-manager who was to be arrested.

Skales explained, “I was locked up one time. Me and my manager were locked up. It was actually my ex-manager who was supposed to be locked up, but I was like, it makes no sense that my manager would be locked up because of the issue I’m also involved in, and I will just be quiet.”

He visited the police station in an attempt to resolve the issue, and it was during this experience that he spent more than 24 hours in detention. Skales mentioned that he shouldn’t have been detained, but when the other party realized his involvement in the matter, several prominent entertainment executives, including Paulo of Upturn and Personal and his current manager, Kolatunez, intervened to secure his release.

This revelation comes after Skales recently accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of breaking into his house at midnight and harassing him in the presence of his family. He claimed that the EFCC accused him of being involved in fraudulent activities and arrested individuals working with him in the studio, including one of his signees.
