Amnesty International has strongly condemned the Federal Government's alleged threats against individuals and groups who criticize the administration. In a statement released on Sunday, the human rights organization emphasized that expressing dissenting opinions is not a crime and that the government must stop responding with violence and threats.
The organization specifically highlighted the case of Ushie Uguamaye, a National Youth Service Corps member who faced threats from NYSC officials after posting a TikTok video criticizing President Bola Tinubu's government over economic hardship.
According to Amnesty International, Uguamaye was well within her rights to express her frustration over the country's worsening economic conditions. The organization denounced the reported threats from NYSC officials, stating that instead of intimidating her, the authorities should prioritize addressing the country's economic woes.
The statement read, "Millions of people in Nigeria are facing extreme poverty. So far, the authorities have failed to put in place effective mitigation measures, leaving millions of people without the hope of getting out of the economic challenges and enjoying their human rights."
Uguamaye had alleged that shortly after her video went viral, she began receiving threats, purportedly from NYSC officials, pressuring her to delete the content. She expressed fears for her safety, stating that her personal details had been leaked and that she was being pressured to report to the NYSC office.
