Controversial journalist Kemi Olunloyo recently rejected condolences following her father’s passing, citing a painful childhood filled with emotional and physical hardships.
In an Instagram video, she detailed the turmoil in her family, including her father’s abusive behavior, dishonesty, and poor choices, which she believes contributed to her suffering.
Kemi described a traumatic event from her youth when her family’s trip to Lagos was marred by an attack that left her younger brother severely injured and their car set ablaze.
She alleged that her father’s selfishness during that time led to her own sexual assault while her brother was trapped inside the burning vehicle.

Instead of mourning, she suggested that others could express their condolences on her father’s Facebook page, making it clear that she feels no obligation to honor his memory.
