“I hate Nigerian police” – Singer, Skales
Skales, the singer known for hits like “Shake Body,” has expressed strong negative feelings towards the Nigerian Police.
He explained that his hatred for the law enforcement agency is rooted in his personal experience of being unjustly detained along with his former manager over a minor issue.
According to Skales, he and his former manager were locked up in a cell for more than 24 hours. However, their release was eventually secured with the help of some influential individuals who intervened in the matter. This unfortunate experience has contributed to his strong dislike for the Nigerian police.
Skales shared these details during an interview on The Time podcast with broadcasters 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.”
