EFCC in a statement said its operatives from the Lagos Command on Tuesday, October 10, 2023, arrested both suspects at House F10, Victoria Crest 4 in the Lekki area of Lagos state.
“The two men, Udemba Chukwuemeka (a.k.a Jody) and Jamal Jamiu Onasola (a.k.a. Jamal) were suspected of being involved in dating scam and described Skales as their ‘mentor’,” EFCC wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
The anti-graft commission added that while Chukwuemeka has been in Skales’ residence for two years, Onasola has only stayed there for few months.
According to the EFCC, they will both be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.

Meanwhile, Skales while narrating the incident on X (formerly Twitter) said one of the EFCC officials had threatened him.
“Now, one of them whose name is Femi called me, threatening that he can rope me into something because of my outburst on social media,” the artiste said.
“An outburst caused by the unprofessional manner in which they gained entry into my home at 4 am while I had my six-months-old child and her mum sleeping.”
