Journalist Kemi Olunloyo Rearrested | To Remain in Police Custody
Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo Controversial blogger and daughter of ex-Oyo State governor, Omololu Olunloyo, has said she has been rearrested.
Olunloyo, who was arrested on the 14th of March 2017 and jailed for 81 days over “Criminal defamation” stated on her verified Twitter handle that her re-arrest was due to the fact that her “magistrate bail of N200,000 was not perfected.”
“The prison said the warrant was cancelled. Judicial error?” she tweeted.
The HNN Africa boss also said she would be in Port Harcourt prisons till July 5th, 2017 and that she needed N100,000 to get a surety to perfect her magistrate bail so she doesn’t sleep in prison.
Here are the posts on her Facebook wall and Twitter handle respectively:
”# BREAKING I may be rearrested. My magistrate bail of N200K was not perfected.
The prison says the warrant was cancelled. Judicial error. My lawyers have to perfect the bail now. The complainant is suing me in both courts SIGH. Media will pounce on this! So unfair!!
They need a prison official here for probable cause. I am already in Federal high court which should supercede magistrate. Prison officials need that court order inviting them to court. I went to the prison fast with a dropcab.
I am back in the courtroom. The judiciary clerk said the order was not ready yesterday. This morning the court order to PRISON officials is still not ready. Failure of a
judiciaryPrison and courts seem to be enemies.
God is here for my best interest!!”
Recall that Olunloyo was remanded in prison for allegedly publishing a letter sent to her by one of the members of Salvation Ministries in Port Harcourt, claiming that the General Overseer of the church, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, was secretly dating Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo (read here).
Not again.
