Two suspected internet fraudsters, Udemba Chukwuemeka (a.k.a Jody) and Jamal Jamiu Onasola (a.k.a. Jamal) arrested in the residence of John Njeng Njeng popularly known as Skales said they are mentees of the singer.
The suspects’ claim is contained in a statement the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission released on the duo’s arrest at Skales’ Lekki residence.
The statement read: “Operatives of the Lagos Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday, October 10, 2023, arrested two suspected internet fraudsters at House F10, Victoria Crest 4, Lekki, Lagos. The suspects: Udemba Chukwuemeka (a.k.a Jody) and Jamal Jamiu Onasola (a.k.a. Jamal) were arrested at the residence of a musician: John Njeng Njeng (a.k.a Skales).
“The two suspects, suspected of being involved in a dating scam, described Njeng as their ‘mentor’. While Chukwuemeka has been in Njeng’s residence for two years, Onasola has only stayed there for a few months.
“They will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.”
In an alarm earlier raised, Skales on Tuesday accused EFCC officials of invading his house.
