DJ Switch discredit reports of being apprehended for allegedly assaulting police officers

Nigerian Disc jockey, Obianuju Catherine Udeh whose stage name is known as DJ Switch has debunked reports of being arrested by the police in Lagos.

According to blogger, Linda Ikeji, the super star DJ was being taken to the Magistrate Court in Eti-Osa. A police informant who spoke to LIB said DJ Switch visited the police in Elemoro, Ajah on Monday, April 15th to complain about a man who allegedly scammed her. The police announced that the man was arrested the same day, she reported and has been in police custody.

The police further told LIB that Switch was invited on Wednesday, April 27th to confirm from her what exactly she wanted, whether for the accused to be charged to court or for him to be released on bail as it is against the law to detain an accused for more than 48 hours. The source alleged that DJ Switch insisted that she wanted the accused to make an apology which she would record and then post online which the accused bluntly refused.

The police decided to extend the matter to the court for settlement since the duo were unable to resolve their differences in peace  and settle.

Things turned sore when the officers were about to drive out with the accused to court and DJ Switch allegedly used her vehicle to obstruct the entrance of the station and allegedly assaulted the female officers related to the case. Her attitude cost her an arrest for obstructing police while on duty, resisting arrest as well as assaulting police officers. The accused was taken to the court and was remanded in prison custody.

DJ Switch, on her part, was on her way to the Magistrate Court in Eti-Osa where she will be fined for obstructing police officers while on duty and assaulting officers.

Now reacting to it, DJ Switch debunked  the News as she threatened to sue blogs over defamation.

“Good morning all.

I was woken up by a barrage of calls and texts this morning. I wondered why because I know today is not my birthday. Only to find that I have been arrested.

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 polīcemen 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 investigate and make certain of the news they share with the public. This 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 believe 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 the end of the day to take down this false news and kindly replace it 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.

Thank you!”.

Good morning all.
