Nigerian female disc jockey, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, popularly known as DJ Switch, has been speaking on why she left the country in the after the #endsars protests.
DJ Switch, who is hailed as one of the heroines of the cause, said she left Nigeria amid death threats over her involvement in the campaign aimed at ending police brutality in Nigeria.
The entertainer said she had “been on the move because they have been after my life. The first threat came in, I thought it was a joke, I sincerely thought it was a joke”.
“Just as I was leaving, I got a phone call that I should leave the vicinity because there are military men at the hospital.
“I had to abandon my home, I moved from people’s home, and then just to get out of Nigeria. I am still travelling, and I am not done with my trip.”
DJ Switch made this revelation during a teleconference with the sub-committee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development of the Canadian parliament.
The nearly three hours session, which held on Friday, was to address the dust surrounding the shooting of peaceful protesters at Lekki Toll Gate on October 20.
DJ Switch has been in the news since the Army allegedly shot protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate on October 20th for her live recording of the event.
