Kemi Olunloyo re-arrested, begs fans to raise N100k to perfect bail conditions

A few hours after returning to Port Harcourt prison to receive a gold medal she won for participating in prison Olympics, controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo has been re-arrested.

Kemi revealed that much on her Facebook page moments after she was re-arrested and detained in a court cell while also appealing to her fans to help her raise the sum of N100,000 to get a surety to perfect her magistrate bail so she doesn’t sleep in prison tonight.

“I am in the court cell. Prisons were served a court order and the court register said it was not ready yesterday or this morning. They purposely delayed it so that the prison can’t get it on time. The court started and they released the order taken to the prison. Too late; the judiciary has failed me!!” she wrote on her Facebook page.

Continuing, she added that; “Case in magistrate court was not perfected. Prison says it was a cancelled warrant. Complainant lawyers and prosecutor says no. I was “miraculous” freed says the prosecutor.”

Recall that about a week ago; Kemi shut down her blog and her other social media accounts pending the outcome of the defamation case she is facing with Pastor David Ibiyeomie of Salvation Ministries.
