The Commander of 81 Military Intelligence Brigade, Victoria Island, Lagos, Brig. Gen. Ahmed Taiwo today told the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry probing the alleged shooting of #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate that the Army was NOT after popular disc jockey, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, fondly referred to as DJ Switch who was one of the leaders of Lekki toll gate EndSARS protest.

Gen Ahmed Taiwo made the assertion today while testifying before the panel.

The general said, “Some people take delight in misrepresenting Nigeria and particularly the Nigerian Army to the international community and our fellow Nigerians. This, I believe is done for pecuniary gains.

Insisting that the lootings were a well-coordinated plan, Gen Ahmed noted that on two occasions when the state government lifted the curfew, army authorities were not carried along.
