A forensic investigation has cleared prominent Nigerian lawyer, Wole Olanipekun Amupitan, of any involvement in a controversial post circulated on the social media platform X.

The post, which sparked widespread reactions and debate online, was initially attributed to Amupitan, raising concerns over its content and intent. However, following a detailed digital forensic analysis, investigators concluded that the account activity linked to the post did not originate from him.

According to sources familiar with the probe, the investigation examined metadata, login patterns, and device traces associated with the account. Findings reportedly showed evidence of unauthorized access, suggesting the post may have been made by a third party without Amupitan’s consent.

The outcome of the probe has effectively absolved the senior legal practitioner of any wrongdoing, putting to rest speculation surrounding the incident. It also highlights growing concerns about cybersecurity risks and identity compromise on social media platforms.

As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official statement from Amupitan, but associates say he welcomes the findings and is considering further steps to safeguard his digital presence.
