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.
