The Senior Special Assistant on Print Media to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Wale Ajetunmobi, has reacted to his suspension following comments he made on the #EndSARS saga.
Ajetunmobi said the word ‘executed’, in his remark, was erroneously used.
He explained that his comment on #EndSARS was taken out of context, adding that the contentious post has been pulled down from his social media handle.
Sanwo-Olu’s aide, Gboyega Akosile, said Ajetunmobi was suspended over “misrepresentation of facts on his personal ‘X’ account on a past incident”.
In a now-deleted post on X on November 23, Ajetunmobi claimed those who burnt a media outfit during the 2020 #EndSARS protests, were “hunted down and executed”.
Reacting, the suspended aide in a statement he issued, said: “My only and final response to this misrepresentation. This excerpt was quoted out of context and there were series of comments made under the same post, which better
explained what was intended.
“Like I did further explained under the said tweet, no extra-judicial killing was insinuated. The word “executed” was erroneously used and not intended in the context of that casual conversation.
“What was written in the entire conversation reflected personal opinion, and not the position of any authority or the entity
in which I work. The post and other comments had been taken down, even before this publication.”
