Renowned artist Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, famously known as Skales, openly expressed his strong aversion towards the Nigeria Police Force, citing a past incident where he was unjustly detained alongside his former manager.
He recounted enduring over 24 hours in police custody until influential figures from the entertainment industry intervened to secure his release.
Skales shared these details during his appearance on the most recent episode of The Time podcast, hosted by Victoria Gure and Folasade Abimbola.
Skales said, “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.
“So, I went to the police station. And you know, I hate Nigerian police. I hate them. I want them to know that I hate them passionately. I was locked up for no reason over one small thing. I was in there for like 24 hours. I wasn’t supposed to be there so the person that was having the issue with my manager when he realised I was also part of it…. God bless Paulo of Upturn and Personal and my current manager, Kolatunez, they pulled strings and the whole issue was resolved.”
It’s worth noting that Skales had previously criticized the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for allegedly forcibly entering his residence late at night and subjecting him to harassment in front of his family.
He asserted that they accused him of fraudulent activities and apprehended individuals, including one of his proteges, who were collaborating with him in the studio.
