Social media started buzzing on Thursday, April 18, 2024, with reports of the DJ’s arrest. However, she vehemently denies all the allegations.
DJ Switch, has denied the rumors that she was held in custody by the police, as stated in a gossip blog on April 18, 2024.
DJ Switch, in a recent post on X (previously known as Twitter), refuted all allegations, including the accusation of assaulting a female police officer at a police station, stating that they were untrue.
“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 . 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,” she stated
The Public Relations Officer for the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, has clarified that he provided incorrect information to the blog. It was actually DJ Commissioner Wysei, not DJ Switch, who was arrested. “Apologies for all inconveniences to a few media outfits,” he said
Nevertheless, DJ Switch implied in her post that she is considering the possibility of pursuing legal recourse against the blogs responsible for spreading the fabricated information.
“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,” she stated.
She asked the blogs to remove the posts and make corrections by the end of the day.
“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,” she said.
