A separate post shared by Skales on X indicated that the entry occurred on Tuesday, October 10, at 03:49 AM. The video showed armed individuals entering a building.
“Imagine these people pulling up like this to a room where my 6-month-old and my daughter and her (sic) were sleeping,” Skales captioned the video.

Skales had claimed, “#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 6month old daughter, imagine I had a panic attack Cz of my health issues…. Is this not a crime?”
The singer, who claimed that men wearing EFCC uniforms forcefully entered his residence and broke into his house, explained that he was unable to record the incident with his mobile phone because it was confiscated by the alleged EFCC officials.
“This was my neighbour’s home I couldn’t record cos they held my fone … this is evidence that they came to raid since they are denying it.”

But EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, firmly denied any invasion of Skales’ home in an Interview with PUNCH, asserting that such allegations lacked merit and emphasizing that the agency’s officials do not conduct operations in such a manner.
He said, “Number 1, we don’t invade. Number 2, we don’t conduct any raids. Number 3, there are ways and rules to identify a regular EFCC operative.
“So, to all intents and purposes, all of his claims, they are totally removed from what an EFCC operation looks like.”
“People can make allegations but the authenticity of the allegation viz a viz the reality on the ground concerning any organisation you’re talking about is important.
“There are impersonations all around, all over the place. So, they are not. We are very polite. We don’t do all those things.
“And I will want him to come forward if he has photo evidence or video evidence, to show that it’s an EFCC thing because we don’t have such things.”
