Kemi Olunloyo, Nigerian journalist and daughter of the late Omololu Olunloyo, a former governor of Oyo State, has launched a GoFundMe campaign seeking $30,000 for medical support.
In a public appeal, she revealed that she is in need of financial help to address long-standing mental health challenges stemming from childhood trauma that she says has affected her for nearly 61 years.
Olunloyo also stood by her previous allegations of sexual abuse and kidnapping, which she claims were perpetrated by her late father. These statements add to a series of personal disclosures she has made over the years regarding her family and early life experiences.
“I have decided to seek medical help with my childhood trauma that destroyed my teenage to middle age 18-35yo and lingering into my elder years at almost 61yo. Yes I want to forgive and forget but it will cost me money I don’t have. I plan to shop a mental health RETREAT in any country. Be part of my healing. The damage to my childhood was tremendous. You have seen my cousins say it never happened, my father’s employees and servants saying no one sexually assaulted me. They didn’t think I will speak out exposing more atrocities.Time to heal,” she said.
“I need $30,000 to treat my PTSD from May to October 2025 a comprehensive 6 month mental therapy,” she added.
Legit.ng previously reported that Kemi announced she would not be accepting condolences for her father’s passing, which occurred just days before his 90th birthday.
In several posts on her social media, Kemi expressed that her family caused her trauma and that the Olunloyo name has been more of a burden than a blessing.
