Popular Afrobeats singer, Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, aka Skales, has revealed why he hates men and women of the Nigeria Police Force “passionately”.
According to the ‘Shake Body’ crooner, his resentment for the security agency started after he was locked up with his former manager “unjustly.”
He made the revelation while featuring on the latest episode of The Time podcast hosted by Victoria Gure and Folasade Abimbola.
Speaking on the encounter, Skales said he was only released from custody after the interventions by some prominent entertainment executives and that he spent more than a day in the police cell.

He 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.”
Prior to this, Skales had called out the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for allegedly breaking into his house at midnight and harassing him in the presence of his family.
He claimed the financial crime agency accused him of being a fraudster and arrested some persons who were working with him in the studio, including one of his signees.
