The minister speaking on the roles that Switch played after she went live on Instagram filming the army shooting at protesters said that the DJ was one of the purveyors of fake news during the #EndSARS protest.

Mohammed questioned her motive, which he said was “suspicious” as she is yet to provide the judicial panel of inquiry investigating police brutality with any evidence of killings.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the Canadian high commission in Nigeria said it does not accept refugee applications directly from people.

This came after speculations that DJ Switch was granted asylum following alleged threats to her life over her involvement in the #EndSARS protest.

The commission in a statement posted on Twitter on Wednesday, November 11, said it only considers applications from individuals who must be referred by a designated referral organisation or a private sponsor.
