The suspension, which was made public on Tuesday, followed a controversial post Ajetunmobi had made on his official X account on Saturday.
In the now-deleted post, Ajetunmobi had claimed that the majority of individuals allegedly involved in the burning of Television Continental (TVC) during a protest had been "hunted down and executedÔÇØ.

"One of them, a young boy trading in cooking gas around Ketu, was found with AK-47 at the site. Even his neighbours were shocked. But the full gist is better saved for later.ÔÇØ
Following the media aide's post, an X user with the handle @hamoye4real then asked:

"You want to create a narrative in your head. What is extrajudicial killing here? Some of the people were chased by soldiers and exchange of fire occurred. Then arsonists were overpowered and killed in the process. Others ran away. Is that an extra-judicial killing to you?ÔÇØ
The Statement Released on the Matter.
More critically, the official statement from the office of the governor did not categorically state whether Ajetunmobi's suspension was temporary or indefinite.

The statement also failed to state whether the aide would be investigated by the police for making a post that suggested that lives were taken during the #EndSARS period through extra-judicial means.
