■ Dismisses claims by the government saying she counted 15 dead bodies on the said day
On Tuesday, 20th October, 2020, the Warri-born disc jockey and musician, Obianuju Catherine Udeh who also goes by the stage name, DJ switch gave live updates using her Instagram account on how the military stormed the peaceful protest in Lekki, Lagos state.
Just recently, the Minister of information and culture in Nigeria asked her who her sponsors were and who she was fronting for. Obianuju has repeatedly come out to dismiss the claims of the government. The government had earlier denied the controversial Lekki fatal shooting, and later came out to say that the live video which she made about this incident was photoshopped. Shortly after that, they claimed that only two people died but DJ switched dismissed those claims saying that she counted 15 dead bodies on the said day. DJ switch also claimed that she helped to remove bullets from peaceful protesters who were shot that night according to her Instagram live feed.
Lai Mohammed who had earlier on described the event as a massacre without bodies insisted that not a single body had been produced neither had a single family come out to claim that their family member was killed that night at the Lekki Tollgate.
Today at a press conference in Abuja, he said: “One of the purveyors of fake news was one DJ Switch which real name is Obianuju Catherine Udeh, even though she claimed authentic evidence of mass killings. Surprisingly, instead of presenting whatever evidence she may have, she chose to escape from the country on the claim that her life was in danger.”
“The military has come out to say we never sought after her and to the best of my knowledge, the police never declared her wanted. Her conduct thus becomes suspicious. Who is she fronting for? What is her real motive? Who are her sponsors? If she has any evidence, why is she not presenting such evidence to the panel? Since she was very desperate for asylum in any country, did she have to resort to blatant falsehood to tarnish the image of the country?”, Mr. Mohammed said.
He continued, “In the fullness of time, this lady will be exposed for who she is,a fraud, a front for divisive and destructive forces. At this juncture, we want to appeal to countries that have made faulty judgements on the basis of fake news and disinformation emanating from #EndSARS crisis to endeavour to seek and find the truth”.
