Police reportedly arrest popular #EndSARS protester, DJ Switch
* Reports of my arrest false, misleading – DJ Switch
By Francesca Hangeior
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, 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.
She was eventually arrested for obstructing police while on duty, resisting arrest, and assaulting officers.
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.
Meanwhile, DJ Switch, has debunked reports that she was arrested in Lagos.
Writing on X, DJ Switch said the report was false and the perpetrators intended to tarnish her image.
She also threatened to sue the originators of the fake news.
”I was woken up by a barrage of calls and text this morning. I wondered why because I know today is not my birthday. Only to find that I, have been arrested,” she wrote.
”One of the links that was sent to me alleged that I had assaulted the police. Now, while I am not a fan of many of our police men and women, I do not condone nor do I support violence against the police.
”Our blogs have such an unhealthy appetite for traffic that they can’t even spend the transport fare it would cost them to go investigate and make certain of the news they share to the public. These false reporting is dangerous and negatively shapes narratives.
”Many people want so badly to believe I am just like those I’ve fought against or believing that I have sacrificed all I have ever worked for just to bring down Nigeria. This is false.
”That being said, my lawyers have screenshotted every blog they can find this false news and this is defamation of my character. These blogs have till end of day to take down this false news and kindly replace with a post correcting their mistake. I am not looking for cheap publicity, I hate clout chasing and I actually am not an ass because I was advised to sue immediately which would cost them all a lot. So please do the needful and let us learn.”
Recall that 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.

‘Having Just Three Wives As a Man Is a Sin’ – Actor Uwaezuoke
Nollywood veteran, Stephen Alajemba, popularly known as Uwaezuoke, has claimed that it is a sin for a man to marry less than three wives.
According to him, men who marry less than three wives are at risk of my poisoned by their spouses.
He spoke in a recent interview with Ugwumba TV.
He said, “It’s a sin to marry one or two wives. But if you marry three or four, you will be free from sin. If you marry one wife your life is at risk. The safety of the director is in the hands of the security. If you marry two wives, they will conspire to poison you.
“But if you marry three or more wives, they will all be on their own and you will only be providing for them. You will be taking turns with their meals and bedrooms.”

BREAKING: Again Portable fights in shopping mall in Canada
Controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable has clashed with a man at a shopping mall in Canada who insisted that the singer must visit and promote his business.
In a viral video, the “Zazuu” crooner was seen having a verbal exchange with a fellow Nigerian.
Portable later explained that the said man wanted him to visit his restaurant and help promote, which he refused since he didn’t pay him.
The said man got confrontational and began trying to stir up drama and both started hurling insults at each other while others tried to mediate the issue.
Portable and his managers subsequently reported the matter to security who noted they captured everything on camera.
He said: ” Before we entered the mall, I exited the car, I was walking towards the door and this organizer of the Regina show drove right in front of me and if I didn’t step back he would have hit me all because I didn’t want to go to his restaurant to promote his own personal business and he didn’t pay me for any of that.
”I didn’t say anything to him. I just wanted to buy some clothes and relax before the show. After we entered the mall, I went on my own shopping with my @djchelsea.official and the organizer for the Regina show came up to me and said I have to take pictures with every fan that comes up to me.
”I said you can’t tell me what to do I’m just shopping, enjoying my private life right now and then the organizer threatened to slap me and beat me. I tried to get him to stop and he yelled at me.
“Then I called my Canadian promoter @ajbone1 and AJ told him he can’t speak to an artist this way. Now the organizer shoved and hit my promoter AJ Bone while he continued to threaten me and then he hit me as well!!
“The security officer saw everything and they know I did not start the fight and I didn’t hit anyone. The other security officers saw the security cameras and they told me to press charges. The police is dealing with this matter.”

What Pasuma’s Daughter Says About Her Dad, What She Does For A Living
One of the daughters of Fuji Star, Alabi Pasuma, Rokeebat Omobolaji Odetola is one of the wave-making music promoters in the music industry.
She is one of the daughters of Fuji star, Alabi Pasuma. But many didn’t know that. She also does not tell them, unless you ask.
In a chat with City People Publisher, SEYE KEHINDE at Imole residence of her father in Lagos, she said,
“Being Pasuma’s daughter stops outside the gate of my house here. When I leave my house and I go out, nobody knows me. I can say maybe when I worked with Danny S, that was when they started saying you don’t know my Manager, she is Pasuma’s daughter.
I tell those artistes that they should please leave aside my being Pasuma’s daughter, lets work, forget my background. Why I usually tell them to forget my background is because my father is not in support of it. I had to like force and beg him to allow me do what I do. So, I am not always proud to say it.
I don’t know who is very close to him that I will meet and he will pick up the phone to call him to say Paso your daughter is here, blabbing outside. She is in a club. So, I do go to shows on a lowkey level. I am not loud.
When I first started I decided he must not know, then. So, I was always not proud to say I am so, so, so, so daughter until when the glory started to show up and he started calling me CEO.
He will call me Rawkey White, the CEO. Rawkey White Entertainment endorsed by your daddy. That is how people now started to know that I am Pasuma’s daughter.
Till now, most people are still doubting whether I am Pasuma’s daughter or not based on the way I relate with them on the public. His name is aside. My name is aside.
I never thought of using his name to climb up. Right from time, I am always around his boys. I can say maybe I am the only child that relates with all of his boys. You met me outside with them gisting.
Right from childhood, I had the feeling, I had the plans that when I grow up, I want to have this kind of house (points to his dad’s house in Omole) and put my people there like my dad did here, and I want to be the boss. That is my own aim. So when I started working, I had my own office, I also had my people.
I have people who work for me. I thank God. So, the name is just different. I started it not to prove him wrong. I started it because I want to do it. All I want to do is to just manage artistes, not to sing. I started as part of the artiste’s entourage. I just follow artistes without any position, as part of the crew.
What I do is when I leave my gate, I leave my name inside my room. When I go outside, I want to know what’s up. I go to see DJs, go to shows, meet up with artistes and life goes on. I am happy I have been able to stabilise my business.
I have a car. I have a P.A. I have an official Photographer. I have a crew. I have a driver. I have my blogger.
Basically I have people that work for me. But I am not in that boss level yet. I am still training them. So, I do the main job myself, they also handle artistes on my behalf.”
