Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has asked DJ Switch whose genuine name is Obianuju Udeh,
who ''she is fronting for'' and 'who are her sponsors'.
Review that DJ Switch utilized her Instagram live to give live updates when the military raged the Lekki toll gate and discharged shots at #EndSARS protesters on October 20. DJ Switch has more than once come out to dismiss cases of government at all level on the incident number at the Lekki shooting casualty. While the Lagos state government guarantee two people passed on, DJ Switch in a video she shared on the web, asserted she had count of 15 dead bodies.
Talking at a public interview today November 19, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said DJ Switch was one of the marketers of fake news and disinformation during and after the #EndSARS protest.
''Even when she claimed to have authentic evidence of mass killings, surprisingly, instead of presenting whatever evidence she may have to the judicial panel of inquiry into the protest, she chose to escape from the country under the pretext that her life was in danger.
I ask: in danger from whom? The military has come out to say they never sought after her. To the best of our knowledge, the police never declared her wanted. Her conduct thus becomes suspect. Who is she fronting for?
What is her real motive? Who are her sponsors? If she has any evidence of killings, why is she not presenting it to the panel? If she was so desperate for asylum in any country, does she have to resort to blatant falsehood to tarnish the image of the country just to achieve her aim'?he said
The minister spoke to nations that have made rushed decisions based on counterfeit news and disinformation coming from the #EndSARS emergency to attempt to look for and get real details about the incident.
