The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has suspended his Senior Special Assistant on Print Media, Wale Ajetunmobi.
This made known in a statement on Tuesday shared on the Lagos State government X (formally Twitter) handle.
According to the statement, Ajetunmobi’s suspension was based on the misrepresentation of facts on his personal “X” account of a past incident.
It reads, “Lagos State Governor Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has suspended his Senior Special Assistant on Print Media, Mr. Wale Ajetunmobi.
“Mr. Ajetunmobi’s suspension comes on the heels of the misrepresentation of facts on his personal “X” account on a past incident.
“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.”
Dailyeconomy gathered that a tweet by Ajetunmobi revealed that arsonists who burnt down the Television Continental station in Lagos during the heat of the 2020 #EndSARS protest had been hunted down and executed, stating that one of the executed arsonists was a young boy who traded in cooking gas around the Ketu area of the state.
He alleged that the boy was found with an AK-47 rifle.
“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: the 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,” the former aide had written on X.
