Misrepresentation of Facts: Sanwo-Olu Suspends SSA On Print Media

Alleged misrepresentation of facts, has forced Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu to suspend his Senior Special Assistant on Print Media, Mr. Wale Ajetunmobi.

The suspension was announced in a statement released on Tuesday, by Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile.

Ajetunmobi allegedly caused 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,” Akosile stated.

Ajetunmobi, tweeting as #Riddwane on Sunday, November 24, 2024 had inferred that alleged arsonists who burnt down the Television Continental station in Lagos during the heat of the 2020 #EndSARS protest, had been “hunted down and executed.”

According to him, one of the “executed” arsonists was a young boy (name undisclosed) who traded in cooking gas around the Ketu area of the state, was actually found with an AK-47 rifle.
