More than 1000 individuals have signed a petition asking the Canadian parliament to deny DJ Switch asylum in the country.

There have been reports that Switch is seeking asylum in Canada amid a death threat allegation by the entertainer over her involvement during the #EndSARS protest.

The petition, initiated by Femi Fako, is titled “Refuse the Canadian Asylum application of Ms. Obianuju Udeh and her associates now!”

According to the petitioners, denying Switch and her associates asylum in Canada would guarantee they face the “terrorist charges” pressed against them in Nigeria.

The campaigners also accused the DJ and other #EndSARS promoters of “inciting public unrest and destruction of properties worth trillions of naira to fix.”

“A judicial panel of inquiry has since been instituted by the Lagos State government to inquire into these unfortunate times, but Ms. UDEH and her cohorts, who are the principal parties to these crimes, choose to jet out of Nigeria, and apply for asylum on very bogus terms,” it read.

“Reject the asylum applications now! They must come back to Nigeria to face terrorist charges. It’s a must!”.
