It’s the end of the Kemi Show.

Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo, 48, the often controversial but always outspoken community advocate, was deported to her native Nigeria on Friday.

“I’ve been criticized by the public and colleagues for associating with her,” said Const. Scott Mills of Crime Stoppers. “But the bottom line is we solved some crimes because of my association with her and we have received info in a timely way, where we got guns off the streets and saved lives.”

Mills said he received a Facebook message from her last week saying that she was being deported, and thanking him.

A Friday flight took her to Nigeria.

Olunloyo’s Toronto story started in 2007 when she arrived at Pearson International Airport from Nigeria, via the U.S., with her children. She filed an unsuccessful refugee claim and subsequent appeals, which also failed.

It’s not clear how much time she had spent in the United States; at least one of her three sons is an American citizen.

But soon after her arrival in Canada she thrust herself into the spotlight, claiming to speak for the families of victims of violence. She was the “voice” at news conferences for victims of gun violence such as Jarvis St. Remy and William “Junior” Appiah.

She wrote on blogs, calling for justice for murder victims. She gave sound bites to reporters.

She became a celebrity of sorts.

But in July 2009, Olunloyo’s story unravelled when the Star reported that she was wanted in the state of Georgia, where there were seven outstanding warrants for her arrest.

There were warrants for failing to appear in court on charges that included cruelty to children, simple battery, terroristic threats/intimidation of a juror or court officer, and obstruction of an officer. A fifth was for bail jumping.

Olunloyo then told the Star the cases were resolved, but clerks at the Newton County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia said otherwise.

The story wasn’t the only chink in her armour.

The 6-foot-tall Olunloyo, daughter of a well-known politician in Nigeria, was often embroiled in unpleasant exchanges on social media with those who questioned her motives or called her out for being a publicity hound. Some of her exchanges were with other Nigerians, some lasting days and weeks.

One blog claims Olunloyo declared on Facebook her interest in running for Nigeria’s highest office. The blogger claims Olunloyo had also declared online her intention to seek an appointment from Nigeria as its high commissioner to Canada.

Olunloyo claimed at one point that she would be “killed” if she was deported to Nigeria because of her online outspokenness. Her MP, Mike Sullivan, asked to have her deportation delayed until her application to stay in Canada on compassionate and humanitarian grounds was decided.

While some families of victims of gun violence were relieved to have Olunloyo speak for them and reach out to the media, some were turned off by what they called her publicity-seeking stunts.

Vesna Cikovic, mother of Boris Cikovic, the victim of a gang robbery in a west Toronto park in 2008, said Olunloyo took advantage of those in mourning.

“Who gave her the right to call herself a community advocate?” asked Cikovic. “She said whatever she felt like, wrote untruths on blogs. I read something she wrote about (Boris) and I disliked it and knew that I didn’t want to have anything to do with her.”

Cikovic said victim’s services helped her and her family get through the aftermath of her son’s murder. “I’m glad Kemi is gone. Good luck,” she said.

Mills, meanwhile, stands by Olunloyo’s assistance, adding: “The relation with her resulted in solving some crimes and prevented some (crimes), and guns being taken off the streets.”

This woman was mocking Ojukwu's death and we told her that her days are numbered. Now she is back to her village in Oluyole LGA in full disgrace. She is finished. Those Yoruba agberos go tear her anus finish when she dey jump molue.

I actually got to know the bitch after the statement she made about Ojukwu shortly after his death. The statement is found here http://www.nollywoodgossip.net/2011/11/26/biafra-is-dead-rot-in-hell-ojukwu-kemi-omololu-olunloyo/

She's the most idiotic Nigerian women I have ever come across. She came to Canada as a fugitive running away from criminal charges in the US. with the aid of social media she made a fool of herself in Canada and incited hatred for herself from both Nigerians and Canadians alike.

i see that you haven't had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of musiwa of the becomrich series, our resident mapologist.

If one of her sons is a US citizen. . . . ?
Why should she have ANY illegal status ANYWHERE in the world? Something is FISHY!!!!

If she criticizes NiGGeria, does that mean she bad-mouths NiGGeria?

After spending all these years in the Diaspora jumping through her window at the sight of any law-enforcement agent, she should be relieved!

I doubt if anything is worth criticizing about Nigeria anymore. Acceptance is the only option. She can always try LIBYA if Ikorodu Road is not PALATABLE.

Nigeria is still her country, abi? Welcome back ma'am.
