Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has suspended his Senior Special Assistant on Print Media, Wale Ajetunmobi, who confessed to extra-judicial killings regarding the 2020 #EndSARS protests.
Ajetunmobi claimed that individuals involved in the arson attack on Television Continental (TVC) during the protests were “hunted down and executed“.

In a post on his personal X (formerly Twitter) account, Ajetunmobi stated that the majority of the arsonists had been hunted and executed, hinting at possessing more information than he was willing to share. This statement has sparked outrage and raised concerns about extra-judicial killings.
Governor Sanwo-Olu’s administration quickly distanced itself from Ajetunmobi’s remarks, emphasizing that it does not condone any form of extra-judicial punishment.
