Popular Nigeria rapper and songwriter, Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, better known as Skales, has explained why he hates the Nigeria Police Force passionately.
The ‘Shake Body’ crooner revealed this in the latest episode of The Time podcast hosted by Victoria Gure and Folasade Abimbola.
He disclosed that he detest the Nigeria Police because he was once locked up with his former manager unjustly.
Skales, who his debut single ‘Must Shine’ received numerous spin on the Rhythm FM stations in Lagos, Jos and Abuja, cited that he spent more than 24 hours in police custody before he was released after interventions by some prominent entertainment executives.
The singer 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.”
Skales recently called out the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for allegedly breaking into his house at midnight and harassing him in the presence of his family.
He alleged that they accused him of being a fraudster and arrested some persons who were working with him in the studio, including one of his signees.
