“I was part of those who went for NYSC orientation camp, batch B stream II. We are part of those that were shifted to Batch C. I was later given a call-up letter. I am reporting from Niger. This is Niger,” she said in the viral video.

Oze further adds, “This early morning, they woke us up that we should be going back home. Some of us don’t have a transport fare. They said, we should be going back home. Look at us”.
