Human rights lawyer, Effiong Inibehe, has advised Governor Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State to order an investigation into a claim by his aide, Wale Ajetunmobi.
The Senior Special Assistant on Print Media to Sanwo-Olu, Wale Ajetunmobi, on his X handle, wrote that alleged arsonists he claimed attacked Television Continental (TVC) building during the Endsars protest were hunted and executed.
Naija News reported that Sanwo-Olu has suspended Ajetunmobi, for the post on the alleged arsonists.
The human rights lawyer called for an investigation into the claim of Ajetunmobi. He also called on Television Continental (TVC) to be open and join the call for investigation.
Inibehe wrote on his X handle, “Suspending Wale Ajetunmobi as your aide does not address the alarming confession of extra-judicial killings made by him. This matter has to be investigated thoroughly by law enforcement agencies.
“He should be taken into custody immediately. Wale confessed in clear terms that those who burnt TVC News station at CMD Road, Ikosi, Lagos were trailed and assassinated.
“As a media organization, I believe TVC will want this grave revelation investigated. It is imperative for urgent actions to be taken. The Lagos State Government and the Lagos State Police Command have to come clean on this matter.
‘Where are the suspects or persons arrested in connection with the arson? What are their names? Has anyone been charged with the arson committed at TVC station?
“I have been wondering why there is no news on the fate of those who attacked TVC News. Now that the suspended aide of the Lagos State Governor has confessed that the suspects were murdered, the public deserves answers.
“We cannot tolerate a situation where the government or those sympathetic to the government or the political class will act as executioners.
“The judiciary is the sole constitutional authority empowered to determine the guilt of anyone accused of a crime.”
