Omoyele Sowore and other activists, including lawyers, accompanied the Lagos-based National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, member, Ushie Uguamaye, also known as Raye, to the office of her Local Government Inspector, LGI, who summoned her over a viral video.
Urban Express News Online recalls that Raye recently went viral for criticizing President Bola Tinubu’s government.
In a video posted on her TikTok account #talktoraye over the weekend, Raye voiced her frustration over Nigeria’s deteriorating economic situation, blaming President Tinubu for the hardship.
The corps member also described the president as a “terrible leader.”
In another video clip that went viral on social media, the corps member was heard claiming that she was being threatened by officials of the NYSC.
Following her public outbursts, Raye was summoned to appear in the office of her Local Government Inspector (LGI) for questioning on Monday.
Raye, who secured the backing of several political bigwigs, was accompanied to the office on Monday by Sowore and some legal practitioners.
In an update on his official X handle, Sowore claimed that the NYSC officials failed to show up.
He wrote, “We arrived at the Eti-Osa LGI offices of the @officialnyscng with youth corper, Ushie Rita Uguamaye, in Lagos. She was scheduled to appear before the LGI today, and we escorted her to their offices with attorneys.
@mrfestusogun, @yinka_oyesomi, and @justiceojienoh, but the LGI official had absconded, failing to show up throughout our stay.”
