The entertainer stressed that the military opened fire on the protesters after creating a three-line formation, and further debunked the Nigerian army's claim of firing blank bullets into the air. DJ Switch disclosed that she counted not less than seven persons shot, adding that one of the soldiers threatened to shoot her. She said; Quote:“On October 20, 2020, we had spirited Nigerians there united with one goal against police brutality against bad governance. According to Sahara Reporters, DJ Switch said the first gunshot was heard from behind and the scene became chaotic as people were running in different directions so as not to be hit by bullet until it was announced that protesters should lie on the floor. She further revealed that after the military were ordered to stop shooting by a senior military officer, the police were drafted to the toll gate and continued shooting at protesters, who were still at the protest ground. The entertainer said; Quote: “As we didn’t know where the gunshots were coming from and what they are about and then the lights went off. DJ Switch who further revealed that she has been in hiding following threats to her live by unknown people, averred that she initially thought it was an empty threat until she received a call that the military were trying to arrest her. She added; Quote:“I have been on the move because they have been after my life. The first threat came in, I thought it was a joke, I sincerely thought it was a joke. |
