The Nigerian Army says contrary to claims in the public, the Army is not searching for popular disc jockey in connection with Lekki Tollgate massacre saga.
The Commander of 81 Military Intelligence Brigade, Victoria Island, Lagos, Brig. Gen. Ahmed Taiwo, said this in his testimony before the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry probing the alleged shooting of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020.
Obianuju Catherine Udeh, fondly referred to as DJ Switch had claimed to have helped in removing 15 dead bodies as well as extracting bullets from peaceful protesters shot at Lekki tollgate, via her Instagram Live feed.
Taiwo 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.
The general said “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.”
There have also been reports that the disc jockey had obtained asylum in Canada after she claimed that her life was being threatened following the Lekki incident.
