In a statement titled, ‘Statement on My Twisted Comment on the Corps Member,’ Ajayi said: “I suggested that flagrant and open abuse and disregard of NYSC by-laws and established protocol should attract the full NYSC disciplinary measures, particularly regarding a corps member’s recent display of imprudence.

 

“The mob get their oxygen from misrepresentations and deliberate mischief.

 

“I made comments under a post where I advertently wrote that what the lady corper did should attract capital punishment under NYSC which means her indiscretion should attract highest punishment under the NYSC scheme.

 

“The highest punishment under NYSC is expulsion. There was a follow-up comment under same thread where I provided the context in my usage of capital punishment under NYSC as a metaphor. The follow-up comment that explained the previous comment was ignored.

 

“It is common sense that there is no death penalty anywhere as punishment under NYSC law.”

Raye, a Lagos-based TikToker had criticized Tinubu over the current hardship in the country.

Uguamaye expressed frustration over Nigeria’s worsening economic conditions, lamenting the high inflation and economic hardship.

She also criticised the President by describing him as a “terrible leader” while questioning the government’s efforts to alleviate the hardship faced by the citizens.
