By Kehinde Okeowo
Controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo has described human rights lawyer, Femi Falana as an egoistic individual who uses intimidation and scare tactics to achieve his desires.
Falana’s law firm, Falana and Falana Chambers, who are the lawyers to the parents of Sylvester Omoroni, a student of Dowen College, Lagos, who died after being bullied by some students, recently petitioned the Police to invite Kemi Olunloyo for questioning.
This was after the journalist alleged that the late 12-year-old, willingly drank engine oil and agreed to be beaten up as part of his initiation into a cult.
The blogger, while responding to the petition on her Instagram page, told the law firm to concentrate on their jobs and stop distracting her.
She wrote: “I have a lot of shocking things coming. Falana let me do my work. Do yours. Human left clout lawyer.”
The 57-year-old whose statement on Sylvester infuriated Nigerians has now gone a step further to accuse Falana of intimidation and scare tactics.
She called Femi Falana and operated SAN, and said she will be suing him and the Omoroni family for damaging her professional reputation.

She also said she is yet to see the petition written to the police and advised the Omoronis to sack Falana’s chamber because all they do is media trial.
Kemi Olunloyo said: “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.”
Kemi Olunloyo added: “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.”
