The Nigerian Army has debunked claims suggesting it’s searching for popular disc jockey, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, fondly referred to as DJ Switch.
The Commander of 81 Military Intelligence Brigade, Victoria Island, Lagos, Brig. Gen. Ahmed Taiwo made this known before the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry probing the alleged shooting of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020.
Speaking before the panel on Saturday, Taiwo stated that the Army is not bothered about DJ Switch, one of the witnesses who on her Instagram Live feed claimed she helped to remove bullets from peaceful protesters who were shot at Lekki tollgate.
The general said, “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.”
Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports making round suggest that J Switch has fled the country for fear of her life and has sought asylum in Canada.
