Why I Fled Nigeria To Canada, DJ Switch Opens Up – #EndSARS—One of the key witnesses to the Lekki shootings has been reported to have fled the country unexpectedly. Obianuju Catherine Udeh aka DJ Switch has opened up on the reason behind her action.
Widely acclaimed as a heroine, the DJ said she left Nigeria amid death threats over her involvement in the campaign aimed at ending police brutality in Nigeria.
She said, I’ve “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.
