Controversial media personality, Kemi Olunloyo, has officially distanced herself from the Olunloyo family following the death of her father, former Oyo State Governor and renowned Mathematician, Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo.
The ex-governor passed away on Sunday, April 6, at the age of 89.
In a series of posts and videos on her Facebook and TikTok pages, Kemi Olunloyo declared her separation from the family and rejected any condolences offered in the wake of her father’s death.
“I am uploading video statements on my father’s death on TikTok. 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,” she said.
She added, “I am not accepting anybody’s condolences because I am not condoling with anybody.”
While she stated that she had forgiven her father, she painted a stark contrast between the man the public knew and the man she experienced at home.
“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; 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.
“My father marketed me as his favourite daughter and child to the world; he also marketed himself to me as that. But I was far from being his favourite. My father used me for a lot of things. My father did a lot to all of us. When I said he used me, he took advantage of my own positive energies.”
Olunloyo also alleged that her father was deeply involved in occult practices before later turning to Christianity.
“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 E.A. Adeboye that he wanted to become born-again, and he did.”
She further revealed that a long-standing family conflict stemmed from her father’s relationship with Aderonke Omololu Olunloyo, formerly known as Ronke Sonaike, whom he met during his 1983 governorship campaign and later married. According to her, the union deeply affected her mother.
“My mother married an intellectual, a man who got his Ph.D at 26 years old. And he turned into a polygamist. Not that polygamists are not good, but the way it happened to my family,” she said.
As of the time of this report, neither the Olunloyo family nor representatives of the late former governor have publicly responded to her allegations.
