    Olunloyo’s son, Akintunde, charged over alleged N40m fraud

    Akintunde Olunloyo on Monday was arraigned by The Police Special Fraud Unit on Monday . The son of a former governor of Oyo State, Dr. Omololu Olunloyo, is being charged for an alleged fraud of N40m.

    Olunloyo was arraigned on two counts alongside his entertainment firm, Code Media Limited, before the Lagos State Magistrates’ Court in Igbosere.

     

    The police asserted that the defendants approached a financial institution for a loan facility and “with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of N40m” property of the complainant.

    He was said to have, however, diverted the money.

     

    The prosecuting counsel for the police, Sylvester Azubuike, told the court that Olunloyo and his firm committed the crime “sometime in November 2014,” in connivance with some accomplices still at large.

     

    Azuibuike told the Magistrate, O. O. Oshin, that the defendants acted contrary to sections 312(1)(b), 312(3) and 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.

     

    But upon reading the charges to them on Monday, the suspects pleaded not guilty.

     

    The defence attorney, Seyi Soremekun, pleaded with the court to admit Olunloyo to bail on self-recognizance or in liberal terms.

     

    In his ruling, the judge, who noted that Olunloyo was facing another criminal case before her, granted him bail in the sum of N500, 000 with one surety in like sum.

     

    The case was adjourned till June 5, 2018.

  • Again! Kemi Olunloyo slams Seyi Law

    Once again, the ongoing feud between Nigerian comedian, Seyi Law and Kemi Olunloyo has been reignited.Recall that Olunloyo had slammed Seyi Law earlier, calling his daughter fat – despite the comedian defending her and brushing aside her previous comments against him during her time in the jail.

     

    In a recent interview, Seyi Law was asked to talk about his rift with Olunloyo and he said: “For me, there’s nothing to talk about. Unless you want us to talk about animal husbandry. We can talk about pigs and where they live, and how they live their lives. How you can’t pick them and take them away from the gutter. That’s their home. But right now, I don’t work in the psychiatric hospital so I can’t really talk about mad people. So let’s leave it at that”.

     

    However , Olunloyo who wouldn’t let such a sarcastic remark slide , took to her Instagram page to throw another jab at Seyi Law. According to her: “The guy wants my attention so much because people were tagging me on Instagram to some Hip TV interview where he doesn’t mention my name but calls me a mad woman. All the stuff you were saying about you were gonna sue me in America under the first amendment for calling your child fat. Your child is fat and obese! Get real! Keep it real. I’m real, you’re fake. And your bad breath … remember when I interviewed you your breath was so bad, go brush your tongue. You need to keep quiet.And get some shows done because 2019 when I become governor [of Oyo State], no entry to Ibadan for any show”.
