Kemi Olunloyo: Why I’m not accepting condolences for my father’s death

Kemi Olunloyo, daughter of Omololu Olunloyo, former governor of Oyo state, says she is not accepting condolences over the death of her father. 

Olunloyo died a few days to his 90th birthday, according to a statement from his family.

In a series of posts shared on her social media pages, Kemi claimed her family put her through trauma, and that the Olunloyo name has brought her more harm than good.

Kemi also said she is no longer a part of the Olunloyo family.

“I am not accepting anybody’s condolences because I am not condoling with anybody. If you want to condole with my father on his death or his family, you need to go to Facebook.com/omololuolunloyo,” she said.

“I have forgiven my Dad for everything he did. Many of you don’t believe you’re reading what actually happened to me.

“You don’t know what’s going on in my family and I don’t know what’s going on in your family.

“My father, Victor Omololu Olunloyo is two different people. He was one person to the world and he was another person to the family. My father destroyed our family unit; my father tortured us as kids. He tortured us emotionally and physically. My father ruined the family unit.

“I am NOT part of the Olunloyo family anymore and told you that in 2024 that I will never return to Nigeria even if my parents died.

“I went through a lot in the hands of my family so if I say I don’t want anything to do with the Olunloyo family, I started using my broadcast name Kemi Lawrence at some point. I meant what I said. I went through trauma. The name Olunloyo brough me more harm than good.”

She claimed her father presented her as though she were his favourite child but that instead, he used her.

“When I say used me, he took advantage of my own positive energies,” she said.

“My father was into ‘juju’ heavily. My father was into occult practices and I called my father out on his 80th birthday. After I called him out, he went to Pastor Adeboye that he wanted to become born-again and he did. My father had me kidnapped, he organised a kidnap.”

The social media personality also said she in not in talking terms with her mother and siblings.

“My mother has also made a lot of mistakes and I don’t talk to her anymore because she also got into the ‘juju’ thing. I don’t talk to my siblings,” she added.
