The operatives of the Nigeria Police Force in Lagos have reportedly arrested Obianuju Catherine Udeh, professionally known as DJ Switch.

According to a police source who spoke to LIB, DJ Switch was at the police station in Elemoro, Ajah on Monday, April 15 to complain about a man who allegedly defrauded her.

According to the police, the man was arrested on the same day and has been in police custody.

It was alleged that while the officers were about to drive the accused to court, DJ Switch blocked the station’s entrance and assaulted the female officer assigned to the case.

DJ Switch was reportedly being taken to a Magistrate court in Eti-Osa where she would be arraigned for obstructing police officers while on duty and assaulting officers at the time of filing this report.

Efforts to reach the spokesperson for the state police command, Benjamin Hundeyin regarding the issue were not successful. He did not answer his calls and had not replied to text messages sent to him at the time of filing this report.

DJ Switch fled Nigeria in the aftermath of #EndSARS protests after insisting that soldiers shot at peaceful protesters at Lekki Toll Gate, Lagos, on October 20, 2020.

She also said that they were sent to the protest venue on orders from above.

DJ Switch said this while speaking with the Sub-committee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development of the Canadian Parliament.
