Skales Criticizes Nigerian Police Over Excessive Checkpoints on the Road

Nigerian singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, has publicly called out the Nigerian Police Force for their excessive checkpoints, particularly on Orchid Road.

Expressing his frustration on social media platform X, Skales described the police as a "very horrible set of humans," accusing them of abusing their power and targeting luxury car drivers to solicit bribes.

He stated, "My hate for Nigerian police still stands… very horrible set of humans… police wey no get money go dey stress fellow poor man knowing fully well what their doing is wrong."

Skales further highlighted the issue by questioning the legality of having multiple checkpoints within a short distance, saying, "Like @NigeriapolicePR… why do you have like all your policemen on orchid road like kilode … they can’t do me shit cos I’m no criminal but it’s that legal to have like 3 to 4 check points just 2 minutes drive away from each other."

He expressed his intention to document these encounters, threatening to wear a camera and post everything online due to the annoyance caused by these practices.
