Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has arrived at the National Youth Service Corps headquarters in Abuja to demand the discharge certificate of female corps member, Ushie Rita Uguamaye, popularly known as Raye
Sowore was accompanied to the headquarters by some activists including human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, who also serves as Raye’s legal representative.
In a statement shared on his X handle on Monday, Sowore had stated that the move was to ensure she receives her discharge certificate.
Sowore vowed to ensure justice for Raye, stating that the injustice meted to her would not be allowed to stand.
“By 9am tomorrow, we will resume at the Maitama Abuja HQ of the National Youth Service Corps @officialnyscng to receive the Discharge Certificate of Corp Member Ushie Rita Uguamaye “Raye”, who has successfully concluded her compulsory service,” he wrote.
Recall that Raye had accused NYSC of withholding her discharge certificate after criticising Bola Tinubu government.
However, the NYSC stated that her certificate was withheld due to her failure to attend the mandatory April 2025 biometric clearance and not because of any critical remarks she made about the federal government.
The NYSC stated that Rita is among 131 corps members whose certificates were withheld for valid disciplinary reasons.
