Brig. Gen. Ahmed Taiwo, says the allegations DJ
Switch leveled against the military were made for
pecuniary gains and to chase clout.
The Nigerian Army has denied hunting Obianuju
Catherine Udeh, a Nigerian Disk Jockey better
known as DJ Switch over the shooting incident at
Lekki tollgate during #EndSARS protests.
On Tuesday, October 20, 2020, some soldiers
attacked EndSARS protesters, who convened at
Lekki and DJ Switch live-streamed the incident on
Instagram.
Days after the incident, she said she received
continuous death threats over her revelation of the
alleged shooting of the protesters.
But while appearing before the Judicial Panel of
Inquiry set up by the Lagos State Government to
investigate the incident, Brig. Gen. Ahmed Taiwo ,
the Commander of 81 Military Intelligence Brigade,
Victoria Island, said DJ Switch made the allegations
against the Army for pecuniary gains and to chase
clout.
He said, “Some people take delight in
misrepresenting Nigeria, the armed forces, and
particularly, the Nigerian Army to the international
community and our fellow Nigerians. This, I believe,
is done for pecuniary gains and to chase clout.
“Quite recently, a Nigerian, Catherine Udeh, also
known as DJ Switch, claimed the Nigerian Army was
looking for her. There is [This is] nothing further
from 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.
“I, personally, have met with not less than eight
people who attended #EndSARS protests at Lekki on
their own terms.”
Taiwo also justified Governor Babatunde Sanwo-
Olu ’s decision to invite soldiers to Lekki tollgate
during the #EndSARS crisis.
The Military General said an incident in which a
mob killed someone, set the body on fire and also
discussed sharing the body parts prompted the
governor to invite the army.
Taiwo said involving the soldiers during the crisis
was the best decision the governor could have
taken.
