#EndSARS: What FG Said About DJ Switch That May Keep Her Far From Nigeria

Disc Jockey, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, who said she witnessed the alleged Lekki shooting, may go out of circulation for a long time with the seriousness the Federal Government exert over her claims in the viral #EndSARS Lekki shooting.

Speaking at a news conference on Thursday, Lai Mohammed, minister of information, who descended heavily on DJ Switch, described her as one of the purveyors of ‘fake news’ and disinformation about the #EndSARS crisis.

Mohammed said that instead of Switch to tender her evidence before the Lagos Judicial Panel, she chose to escape from the country under the pretext that her life was in danger.

He accused the DJ of being a ‘front’ for those who want to destabilize the government, declaring that in the fullness of time, “this lady will be exposed for what she is, a fraud and a front for divisive and destructive forces”.

His words: “Still on the alleged Lekki Toll Gate massacre, one of the purveyors of fake news and disinformation during the EndSARS crisis was DJ Switch, real name Obianuju Catherine Udeh, even though she claimed to have authentic evidence of mass killings.

“Surprisingly, instead of presenting whatever evidence she may have to the Judicial Panel, she chose to escape from the country under the pretext that her life was in danger. I ask: in danger from whom?

“The military has come out to say they never sought after her. To the best of our knowledge, the police never declared her wanted. Her conduct thus becomes suspect. Who is she fronting for? What is her real motive? Who are her sponsors? If she has any evidence of killings, why is she not presenting it to the Panel? If she was so desperate for asylum in any country, does she have to resort to blatant falsehood to tarnish the image of the country just to achieve her aim?

“In the fullness of time, this lady will be exposed for what she is, a fraud and a front for divisive and destructive forces. At this juncture, we want to appeal to countries that have made hasty judgements on the basis of fake news and disinformation emanating from the EndSARS crisis to endeavour to seek and find the truth”.
