The DJ, whose real name is Obianuju Udeh, had gone into hiding over alleged threats to her life.

For the Miami conference, DJ Switch was listed among personalities who “speak truth to power and ignite movements that seek justice and defy authoritarian regimes”.

Speaking about her activism in Nigeria, she wrote in an Instagram post: “Buhari and his cohorts want us to celebrate independence while many Nigerians live in extreme poverty.

“Police kill innocent young Nigerians, government officials steal like armed robbers, Naira is headed to 600 Naira.
