Popular Disc Jockey Obianuju Catherine Udeh, aka DJ Switch, has debunked reports that she was arrested in Lagos.
Reports emerged on different blogs on Thursday morning that
DJ Switch was arrested and taken to the magistrate court in Eti Osa over an
alleged complaint of fraud and assault.
Writing on X formerly known as Twitter, DJ Switch said the
report was false and the perpetrators intended to tarnish her image.
She also threatened to sue the originators of the fake news.
”I was woken up by a barrage of calls and text this morning.
I wondered why because I know today is not my birthday. Only to find that I,
have been arrested,” she wrote.
”One of the links that was sent to me alleged that I had
assaulted the police. Now, while I am not a fan of many of our police men and
women, I do not condone nor do I support violence against the police.
”Our blogs have such an unhealthy appetite for traffic that
they can’t even spend the transport fare it would cost them to go investigate
and make certain of the news they share to the public. These false reporting is
dangerous and negatively shapes narratives.
”Many people want so badly to believe I am just like those
I’ve fought against or believing that I have sacrificed all I have ever worked
for just to bring down Nigeria. This is false.
”That being said, my lawyers have screenshotted every blog
they can find this false news and this is defamation of my character.
These blogs have till end of day to take down this false
news and kindly replace with a post correcting their mistake. I am not looking
for cheap publicity, I hate clout chasing and I actually am not an ass because
I was advised to sue immediately which would cost them all a lot. So please do
the needful and let us learn.”
DJ Switch is popular for being a former reality TV show
winner, a DJ and a major voice in the #ENDSARS movement.
