Human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore, alongside others, showed solidarity with Rita Uguamaye, a serving corps member, after she was summoned to appear before the Local Government Inspector (LGI). However, upon arrival, the LGI was nowhere to be found throughout their stay at the local government office.

Sowore shared a video of their arrival at the LGI office and wrote on his X handle (formerly known as Twitter):

"The journey with youth corper Ushie Rita Uguamaye has commenced in Lagos. She is scheduled to appear before the LGI today, and we will escort her to their offices. We are all en route with attorneys."

However, after waiting for several hours without the LGI showing up, Sowore made another post, stating:

"We arrived at the Eti-Osa LGI office of @officialnyscng with youth corper Ushie Rita Uguamaye in Lagos. She was scheduled to appear before the LGI today, and we escorted her with attorneys @mrfestusogun, @yinka_oyesomi, and @justiceojienoh. However, the LGI official absconded, failing to show up throughout our stay."

Reacting to the post on X, a follower named Adekunle Oderinde demanded the prosecution of the absent LGI official, saying:

"The NYSC officials who abandoned their duty post should be made to answer for their absence. Since they claim to know the law, they should also face disciplinary proceedings."

Rita Uguamaye, a serving corps member, had earlier cried out after being threatened by an NYSC official for refusing to take down a video in which she criticized President Tinubu’s government, calling it “terrible” and complaining about the economic hardship in the country. The video has since gone viral, sparking widespread discussions in Nigeria and even attracting international attention, especially after Amnesty International reacted to the saga.

The corps member has received overwhelming support from many notable Nigerians and politicians, who are urging the NYSC not to victimize her simply for expressing her views on the government.

Is the Public Servant aware that being absent from a place of duty without prior permission is an abuse of office?

Can the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) please look into this? People who have been dangling 'paramilitary' everywhere cannot have forgotten that now that there is clear 'absconding' from duty post.😁😁

NYSC better behave themselves.
SS/SE people are not subservient, they speak their minds
