DJ Switch, also known as Obianuju Udeh, celebrated a recent decision by the ECOWAS Court of Justice regarding the #EndSARS protests as a victory.
The court ruled in favor of DJ Switch, Perpetual Kamsi, and Dabiraoluwa Adeyinka, ordering the Nigerian government to compensate them with N2 million each for violating their rights.
DJ Switch expressed relief that the court recognized their ordeal, despite facing challenges like the government’s delays and absences during hearings.
She mentioned the emotional toll and life changes they endured but emphasized they’ve managed to overcome with professional support.
DJ Switch sees the ECOWAS court’s verdict as a positive step, believing it holds the government accountable for their actions during the October 20, 2020 incident.
In her words:
“I cannot express the emotional trauma we’ve all been through and life changes we’ve had to make but thankfully, with professional help, we’ve been able to work through it and this verdict certainly made a positive impact.
“I have never wavered once in my shared experience and I am grateful to my lawyers for presenting our experiences and evidence with tact and also grateful to the esteemed judges for doing their due diligence.
“Sitting in court yesterday and hearing the verdict from the judges indicting the Nigerian government of the crime they committed on the 20th of October, 2020 was one of the best days of my life since that horrific day and also legally vindicates us all.
If no room is left for corruption to fester, the people are served. “Barring any obstruction from the government to follow the instructions of the court, I can finally move on to other things, passion wise which I hope to share with you all. “Naysayers can scream all they want! It is now legally documented in history who the criminals actually were.”
She thanked her legal team for presenting their case effectively and the judges for their diligence. DJ Switch now looks forward to focusing on her passions, hoping to move forward from this chapter.
