Activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore, alongside other activists and lawyers, accompanied Lagos-based National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member Ushie Uguamaye, popularly known as Raye, to a meeting with her Local Government Inspector (LGI) following a summons over a viral video.
Raye had recently gained attention after criticizing President Bola Tinubu’s administration in a TikTok video posted on her account, #talktoraye. In the video, she expressed frustration over Nigeria’s worsening economic conditions, blaming President Tinubu for the hardships faced by citizens. She also described him as a “terrible leader.”
After her statements went viral, Raye alleged that she was being threatened by NYSC officials. In response, she was instructed to appear before the LGI on Monday for questioning.
However, when Raye arrived at the office accompanied by Sowore and a team of legal practitioners, the summoned officials were reportedly absent.
Providing an update via his official X handle, Sowore claimed that NYSC officials failed to attend the scheduled meeting, leaving Raye and her supporters without an official response.
He wrote:
“We arrived at the Eti-Osa LGI offices of the @officialnyscng with youth corper, Ushie Rita Uguamaye, in Lagos. Raye 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.”
