In a surprising twist, Nigerian self-acclaimed journalist Kemi Olunloyo has called for empathy for her rival, Iyabo Ojo, following her office loss.
Kemi Filani reported early Wednesday morning that Iyabo revealed that her office building caught fire on Tuesday at around 7 p.m. Sharing a video of the incident, she expressed gratitude to the Nigerian Fire Service and her staff for salvaging what was left. She also thanked her creator, as no lives were lost. Iyabo noted how the devil tested them, but God said no.
Defending her against her trolls on Facebook, Kemi Olunloyo admonished them to stop mocking the actress by saying Mohbad’s spirit is strong or that she set the fire as insurance fraud to pay her debts.
She admonished them to have empathy, advising Iyabo to install a smoke detector when she rebuilt the office. She stated that she couldn’t imagine what would have happened if someone had been sleeping in that office when the fire broke out.
Olunloyo added that Iyabo should always remember to turn off all gadgets before leaving the office, as Nigeria’s power failures can cause fire outbreaks.
“Stop mocking Iyabo Ojo on TikTok by saying Mohbad’s spirit is strong or that she set the fire as insurance fr@ud to pay her debts. Have Empathy!
Iyabo, kindly install a smoke detector when you rebuild your office. I am imagining what would have happened if someone was sleeping in that office at the moment the fire broke. I thank God for your life. Keep praising God. Always remember to turn off all gadgets before leaving the office. Nigeria’s power failure, too, can cause it. “

Kemi’s show of love to Iyabo is coming as a surprise, as last month, Olunloyo had alleged that Iyabo’s late mother passed away due to complications from parànoid schizophrenia. She claimed that Iyabo abused her mother till she died.
Iyabo, responding to her in an Instagram live session, said Kemi would continue to beg until she dies. She noted how the journalist is living a pathetic life and mocked her for not having good things in her life despite her age. Iyabo said that if Kemi’s children had given her the care she gave her late mother, her life wouldn’t have ended like that.
Last year, Iyabo had written an open letter to Kemi Olunloyo’s sons, expressing that she understands his family’s situation and sympathises with them. The mother of two urged him to forgive his mother over claims that he disowned her and ensure they join hands to support her even though different fathers raised him and his siblings.
In response, one of Olunloyo’s sons slammed Iyabo for thinking he and his siblings were not on good terms with their mother. He claimed that his autistic brother is not on social media, and the claims that they disowned their mother were from a cloned page. He clarified that they love their mother even when they each have their struggles.
In 2023, Iyabo had expressed her desire to foot Kemi’s bills into a Psychiatric hospital. She called on the public, who knew the journalist’s whereabouts to drop the location so she could offer assistance to her.
