The Socio- Economic Rights and Accountability Project(SERAP), has urged the Tinubu administration to direct the leadership of the NYSC to immediately end the intimidation, harassment and threat against a Youth corper, Ushie Uguamaye for reportedly criticising the President over inflation and economic hardship.
In a release issued on Sunday, SERAP said, “Everyone has a right to criticize their government without fear of reprisals, adding that freedom of expression is a fundamental right.
The body vowed to drag the government to court if the harassment is not withdrawn.
“We’ll see in court if the threat is not immediately withdrawn.
“The NYSC board should stop treating criticism as a crime and immediately end the intimidation, harassment and threat against Ms Ushie Uguamaye.
“The administration must direct the NYSC leadership to guarantee her safety and security”, the statement read in parts.
