Nigerian disc jockey, Catherine Udeh, popularly known as DJ
Switch, has reacted to the report by the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry
on Restitution for Victims of SARS Related Abuses and other matters.
According to the report submitted by the panel, at least
nine persons were confirmed dead at the Lekki toll plaza on the night soldiers
stormed there to disperse #EndSARS protesters on October 20, 2020.
The Justice Doris Okuwobi-led panel made this known in its
report submitted to the Lagos State Government on Monday.
Titled, ‘Report of Lekki Incident Investigation Of 20th
October 2020’, a copy of which was made available to The PUNCH, the panel said
at least 48 protesters were either shot dead, injured with bullet wounds or
assaulted by soldiers.
According to the report, nine protesters were confirmed
dead, while four were presumed dead. The panel listed 48 names as casualties of
the incident.
Among the 48, about 20 sustained gunshot injuries, while 13
others were assaulted by the military.
Taking to her verified Twitter page, DJ Switch wrote,
“Shattered so many lives, tried to destroy mine. Only for what you desperately
tried to hide to be made public… by you! The truth needs no defence! #EndSARS.”
The DJ gained more prominence last year when she took to her
Instagram page to do a live coverage that showed protesters being shot at by
personnel of the Nigerian Army at the Lekki Toll Gate during the #EndSARS
protest that rocked the nation last year.
While most Nigerians praised her for her braveness, the DJ
has claimed that she is on the run from the Nigerian government.
