Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo, a social media enthusiast and daughter of a former governor of Old Oyo State, Omololu Olunloyo, has accused the chief registrar attached to the Port Harcourt Division of the Federal High Court of sitting on her case in order to keep her perpetually behind bars, despite having
allegedly met her bail conditions.
But Maimunat Folami, the Deputy Chief Registrar, strongly denied the allegations, stating that her office had cooperated fully with Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo’s
counsel to ensure proper vetting of her bail documents. “We have done everything
that we’re supposed to do,” Ms. Folami said. “This
allegation is very strange.” Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo spoke inside Port Harcourt Prison, where she had been remanded since her initial arraignment in mid-career for alleged criminal defamation against a Port-
Harcourt-based preacher, David Ibiyeomie.
Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES inside the office of the Comptroller of Prisons in Rivers State, Ifeanyi Amaliri, last week, Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo stated that her lawyers had satisfied all bail requirements set by H.I.O. Shamah, a federal judge who granted her bail on April 11. She said she had strong indications to believe the deputy chief registrar was sitting on her case on alleged orders of some powerful interests. But the court registrar said the accused bail paperwork was still being perfected by her
lawyers, with whom she said she had been in constant
touch with. “I have to do all the works of ensuring that all the documents are put in place,” Ms. Folami said. “Even if the documents are put in place,
we still have to conduct certain investigations, like
verifying the addresses of the sureties to be sure they are who they say they are.” Ms. Folami also said Ms.
Omololu-Olunloyo’s case file was taken away the last time her matter was heard on May 23. Although the judge was absent, the case file was not returned to her office, causing further delay in working out the final details of Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo’s
release. Peter Nkanga, the West Africa
representative of the U.S.-based
Committee to Protect Journalists,
condemned Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo’s
continued incarceration for over 78 days
and counting, despite all bail conditions
met since May 11, including signing an
undertaking not to jump bail.
“It is an outrage that the judiciary can
be taking over three weeks and counting
to verify Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo’s bail
requirements, at the expense of her
freedom,” Mr. Nkanga told PREMIUM
TIMES.
Fatai Lawal of Afe Babalola Chambers,
which is representing Ms. Omololu-
Olunloyo, spoke to PREMIUM TIMES but
declined to blame the registrar for the
challenges faced in perfecting his client’s
bail requirements.
“We’re confident about her possible
release this week,” he said.
A team of police officers first arrested
Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo in Ibadan on
March 13.
She was whisked to Port Harcourt where
she was arraigned before a Chief
Magistrate’s Court in Port-Harcourt. The
case was later transferred to the Federal
High Court.
Ms. Omololu-Olunloyo, however, spoke
positively about the prison officials.
They have done an excellent job taking
care of me and ensuring that I don’t
starve and my health does not
deteriorate, she said.
