26-hrs after, Kemi Olunloyo regains freedom after re-arrest

Controversial journalist and blogger, Kemi Olunloyo, the daughter of a former governor of Oyo State has regained freedom 26 hours after she was re-arrested in Port Harcourt for not perfecting her bail conditions.

The hot headed media personality who is being sued in two separate courts was re-arrested two days ago on her return to the “Garden City” to receive a gold medal she won for participating in prison Olympics.

Immediately after she was freed, Kemi wrote thus on her Instagram page; “Thank you #Nigeria. I am free in the name of the father. My family are free in the name of the son. My case will be discharged and acquitted in the name of the Holy Spirit.”

Continuing, she added that; “I have been released from #PortHarcourt Prison after 26 hours. Locked up twice 82 days and 2 hours; if I can survive #PHMax twice, you can do anything you wanna do. Shout out to my former inmates. Such love! I got toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, wrapper and a great meal.

“Lawrita cooked me #OfoSoup which Im taking to my hotel and Benny gave me her entire dinner last nite and a doughnut for dessert.”

Kemi was arrested and jailed after she published an article on her blog accusing General Overseer of Salvation Ministries Pastor David Ibiyeomie of infidelity.

She was arrested after Pastor Ibiyeomie petitioned the police claiming that she (Kemi) criminally defamed him by posting an article on her blog claiming he is an adulterer, a claim he said defamed his character.
