Brig. Gen. Ahmed Taiwo, the Commander of 81 Military Intelligence Brigade, Victoria Island, Lagos, has said the Nigerian Army is not targeting DJ Switch.
In his testimony before the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry probing the onslaught of peaceful #EndSARS protesters at Lekki tollgate, Taiwo said contrary to public belief, the military has no issue with DJ Switch.
The general’s words: “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.”
Recall that in the late hours of Tuesday, October 20, 2020, DJ Switch streamed the massacre of the protesters.
In the live streaming which attracted wild reactions on a global scale, the Nigerian Army was indicted, as many of the protesters claimed armed men in military uniforms were deployed to unleash the terror.
Meanwhile, rumours have it that DJ Switch has sought asylum outside the country after she claimed that her life was being threatened for live streaming the Lekki onslaught.
