In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, Sowore revealed that he had met with Uguamaye in Lagos and would accompany her to the NYSC Local Government Inspector’s (LGI) office, along with a team of attorneys.

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

Uguamaye had recently sparked widespread debate after posting a TikTok video lamenting Nigeria’s worsening economic conditions and openly criticising President Tinubu’s leadership.

Following the video’s circulation, she alleged that she received threats over her comments.

The NYSC subsequently invited her to appear before the LGI office at Eti-Osa 3 on Monday at 10a.m., a move that has drawn significant attention to the case.

Sowore’s involvement has further amplified concerns over free speech and political dissent in Nigeria, with many questioning whether Uguamaye will face disciplinary actions from the NYSC or other authorities.

As of press time, the NYSC was yet to issue an official statement on the matter.
