Investigative journalist, Kemi Olunloyo has accused the Oromoni family of withholding some information from the public in a bid to paint a different picture.
This came after human rights lawyer Femi Falana who is representing the Oromini family asked the Nigerian Police to invite Olunloyo for questioning over her statement where she had insisted that 12-year-old Sylvester Oromoni had consented to joining a cult in his school Dowen college.
This statement had infuriated Nigerians with some celebrities threatening to beat her up.
In a new statement she shared on her official facebook page, Kemi Olunloyo fumed over the petition that was filed against her by the family of Sylvester Oromoni through Femi Falana.
She also threatened to sue the family of the deceased for damages. Speaking further, the journalist held that one of the children that are currently in police custody has a document that shows that Sylvester consented to join the cult.
Read her statement below:
“STATEMENT BY DR KEMI OLUNLOYO

Femi Falana is an overrated SAN who feels he’s above the law. He carries a dangerous ego which he feels he can use to intimidate the government and protect the people.
I’m planning to sue him for dragging my professional reputation asking police to invite me for specifically my “reckless statement” concerning Sylvester Oromoni a fake petition we are yet to see.
Reckless what? He wants to use scare tactics he uses with successive governments. If in fact he’s filing on behalf of the Oromoni family I will be suing them too for damages.
The Oromoni family should fire him and use their senses. Falana is a distraction and one who loves media trials.
He is not focused and doesn’t care about civil, legal and human rights of anyone just acts like he does. No family of a dead schoolboy should drag an investigative journalist.
The era of those who spoil my name in this country Nigeria will end soon. I know my legal rights. I have information that could make or break this case designed to ruin the reputation of so many others.
Nigerians have their mob mentality. Falana investigate the children police have in custody. One of them is holding a document that Sylvester consented to and his family are well aware.
The Oromoni family should undergo a LIE DETECTOR TEST as well as the staff in custody. They have a lot of info the dying child shared with them they did not post on social media.
I’m an award winning investigative journalist of 27 years not an Internet blogger and social media personality in this capacity.
Any journalist can open any case at anytime. We are journalists, we know our mission. We will NOT be intimidated and that applies to you Mr Falana, all the nonentity celebrities and their fans sending me violent threats.
The lies in Nigeria is way too much. Nobody can suppress the truth and the truth is Kemi Olunloyo. Merry Christmas 🎄 to all.
