Controversial media personality, Kemi Olunloyo has been released from a prison in Port Harcourt having met her bail conditions.

The blogger who made a reputation for being a critic landed herself in a lawsuit following defamatory comments directed at Pastor David Ibiyeomie, the General Overseer of the Salvation Ministries.

This led to her arrest on March 5, 2017, in Ibadan where she is resided.

Olunloyo was however granted bail by Chief Magistrate, Alatuwo Elkanah Fubara, but was later sent back to prison due to her inability to meet conditions set for her release.
