Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has suspended his Senior Special Assistant on Print Media, Mr. Wale Ajetunmobi over misrepresentation of facts.
Ajetunmobi in a post on his X account, on past incident alleged that majority of those who burnt down the Television Continental station in Lagos during the heat of the 2020 #EndSARS protest, had been “hunted down and executed.”
The tweet was reported by an online media on Sunday, November 24, 2024, tweeting as #Riddwane.
Ajetunmobi tweet reads, “The full story of people who burnt down TVC in 2020 will be told one day, with gory clips and images. One thing to note: majority of them have been hunted down and executed.
“One of them, a young boy trading in cooking gas around Ketu, was found with an AK-47 at the site. Even his neighbours were shocked. But the full gist is better saved for later.”
In a statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, on Tuesday, the state Governor said his administration will not be a part of any form of extra judicial.
The statement reads: “The Governor wishes to state categorically that his administration frowns at any form of extra judicial punishment and will not be a part of any such action.
“That is not who we are. That is not our way,”
