 Lekki Shootings: Army says it is not in search of DJ Switch

By Modupe Shodeinde

The Army has denied claims that is in search of popular disc jockey, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, popularly referred to as DJ Switch.

The Commander of 81 Military Intelligence Brigade, Victoria Island, Lagos, Brig. Gen. Ahmed Taiwo said this on Saturday before the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry.

The general stated that the Army has more important issues to focus on than to bother itself with chasing people.

“Some people take delight in misrepresenting Nigeria and particularly the Nigerian Army to the international community and our fellow Nigerians. This, I believe is done for pecuniary gains.

“Quite recently, a Nigerian, Catherine Udeh, also known as DJ Switch, claimed the Nigerian Army was looking for her. There is nothing further than the truth.

“My Lord, we have bigger fish to fry; and that is how to stabilise Lagos. We can’t be bothered chasing one or two people. Where she got that from, I do not know.” Taiwo said.

DJ switch had been reported to have sought asylum outside the country after she claimed that her life was being threatened following the Lekki incident.

During the shooting of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020, DJ switch had been reported to have made the incident known to the public through an Instagram Live feed.
