April 10, (THEWILL) – Controversial media personality, Kemi Olunloyo, has disowned her family in a dramatic public outburst following the death of her father, Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo, a former Governor of Oyo State, who passed away on Sunday, April 6, at the age of 89.
In a series of emotionally charged videos shared on her TikTok and Facebook pages, the US-based Olunloyo renounced ties with the Olunloyo family, stating unequivocally that she would neither return to Nigeria nor accept condolences over her father’s demise.
“I am not part of the Olunloyo family anymore.
“I will never return to Nigeria, even if my parents die. I’m not condoling with anybody,” she declared.
Dr. Olunloyo, a respected mathematician and politician, served briefly as governor in 1983 before the military coup that ended the Second Republic.
Despite his public stature, his daughter painted a grim portrait of life behind closed doors.
“My father was two different people — one to the world, another to his family.
“He destroyed our family unit. He tortured us emotionally and physically as kids,” she alleged.
Olunloyo went further to accuse her late father of engaging in occult practices, claiming his eventual conversion to Christianity was a result of her public rebuke.
“My father was into juju heavily. On his 80th birthday, I called him out. Afterwards, he went to Pastor Adeboye to become born again,” she said.
In a disturbing account, she alleged that her father once took two of her brothers to a ritualist to drink human blood for spiritual fortification.
According to her, one of them died in a car accident shortly after returning to the UK, while the other reportedly contracted HIV from the incident.
Kemi also recalled an incident involving her 12-year-old brother who was allegedly suspended from a ceiling fan and beaten by their father after being accused of theft in school.
She pointed to her father’s relationship with Ronke Sonaike—whom he met during his 1983 governorship campaign and later married—as the beginning of the family’s downfall. According to her, the union created a rift in the family and deeply affected her mother.
“When Ronke came into our family, my father started all manners of occult things. It’s too long. It’s too painful,” she said.
