Thank you Dj switch for all you did 20.10.20 am so grateful…trust me you will be remembered in my heart forever….💔😡 #LekkiMassaccre https://t.co/0ESF5grdSV @PondzJoe
Imagine they had “regulated” social media?
That DJ Switch’s video wouldn’t have made it out, it would have been shut down. Even without the regulation, a top official in the army said it was photoshopped
The truth would have remained hidden.
Thank God for the Internet.@Aproko_Doctor
Thank you, DJ Switch. Thank you for preventing a complete erasure.@_ucheoby
I don’t think we have fully grasped the significance of what DJ Switch did for us that night by going Live.@JusttLit
The fact that the Lagos state government, LCC and the Army all collaborated to ensure evidence did not survive shows that despite what they will have you believe, they are actually scared of evidence being available.@Oloye_
DJ Switch does not know what she did. An absolute LEGEND!
