Omoyele Sowore, an activist and presidential candidate, has accused the Eti-Osa LGA’s Local Government Inspector (LGI) of evading arrest after he showed up with Ushie Rita Uguamaye, also known as Raye, and her legal team for a planned disciplinary hearing.
Raye, a member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), recently caused a stir across the country with a contentious video in which she called out President Bola Tinubu’s administration and called Lagos a “smelly state.”
Ushie Rita was set to appear for a disciplinary session on Monday and was accompanied by Sowore and his legal representatives, as announced earlier on X (formerly Twitter).
However, in an update shared on the same platform, Sowore claimed that the LGI was nowhere to be found upon their arrival.
“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,” Sowore wrote.
The NYSC board is yet to issue an official statement regarding the alleged absence of the LGI or the next steps concerning Raye’s case.
