Human Rights Activist, Omoyele Sowore has given reason to why he and a group of lawyers accompanied Ushie Uguamaye, the Youth Corper to the NYSC Centre on Monday.
Speaking in an interview with Arise TV on Monday from 5:00, he revealed that the lady was summoned to come to the NYSC Centre without being given any proper reason. He was driven by this insight and decided to accompany her to ensure her safety and also understand what she did wrong that led to her immediate summon by the Local Government Inspector (LGI).
“We accompanied her because we heard very late last night that she was summoned and the summon did not include any explanation to why she was summoned or what she did wrong. We did because we seen threats against her, people calling her names, shaming her, and we decided for her safety, for clarification, and for the public to know what she did wrong that why we went there. When arrived there, the person who invited her had not showed up at work as of 10:30 am, she was supposed to be there at 10:00 am and we waited for about a hour and nobody showed up”. He recounted
Omoyele Sowore also revealed that they saw the woman was called Uguamaye who threaten her about the viral video. According to him, the women already looked sober at that point after realizing she might have made a wrong move by threatening the NYSC Corper.
He said: “We met the lady who apparently called her on phone and lambasted and threatened her but we opted not to engage with her because by the time we got there she was already sober. They realized what they were up against so there was no point, we focused on the business of the day which is to meet the (LGI) Local Government Inspector of the NYSC who we believed absconded”.
