The Nigerian Army on Saturday denied going after celebrity disc jockey, Catherine Udeh, popularly known as DJ Switch, who had live-streamed on Instagram footage of the alleged shooting of unarmed #EndSARS protesters at Lekki Tollgate.
The Nigerian Army also told the Lagos Judicial Panel of Inquiry and Restitution for Victims of Special Anti-Robbery Squad Related Abuses and Other Matters that it was not after other #EndSARS protesters.
Brigadier General Ahmed Taiwo, Commander of the 81, Military Intelligence Brigade, Victoria Island, Lagos, spoke to the panel on behalf of the Nigerian Army.
Taiwo said: “DJ Switch claimed the Army was looking for her.
“Nothing could be further from the truth.
“We have bigger fish to fry.
“That is, how to stabilise Lagos.
“There is a lot of misinformation against the Nigerian Army.
“And when you produce facts debunking the misinformation, all you get is abuse on social media.
“The social media campaign against the Nigerian Army has been wicked and atrocious in its dimension and filled with lies.
“It is being conducted as if Officers and Men of the Nigerian Army are from the moon or Pluto.
“The Nigerian Army will never turn against its citizens.”
DJ Switch has presented to the Canadian legislature allegations of being hunted by Nigerian security agencies as basis for her seeking asylum.
