Seasoned journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, has come under fire following Cable News Network (CNN) Africa’s denial that she ever worked with the media company.
The Supervising Producer CNN Africa, Stephanie Busari, even challenged Mrs Olunloyo to provide evidence of working for the company for two decades.
Olunloyo had earlier claimed to have a 20-year history with the Atlanta, Georgia-based popular cable station.
Recall that the controversial journalist took to her social media on Sunday to berate some of her followers for doubting her credentials after she recently accused ace photographer, Busola Dakolo of lying about her rape accusations against Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo.
Dakolo, who is the wife of sensational singer Timi Dakolo, alleged that Fatoyinbo raped and defiled her when she was a teenager.
Olunloyo said she came to the conclusion that Dakolo was lying and seeking fame after carrying out investigations, which some social media users flouted.
She tweeted:
Dr Kemi Olunloyo Pharm.D🇳🇬

@HNNAfrica
Some of these fools following me have no idea I spent 20 years @cnn in 5 different capacities. They don’t even know that the CNN they watch here is not exact same as CNN USA.
In response to her tweet, CNN Africa’s Supervising Producer, Stephanie Busari stated she never worked with them and challenged her to provide a piece of evidence.
She tweeted:
@StephanieBusari
I have not seen any evidence of this work for CNN beyond a few rambling interviews for some of the shows in 2009. Please enlighten me @HNNAfrica on your 20 year history with CNN.
Although Olunloyo is yet to respond to the challenge she has come under attack by the Nigerian Twitter community with a trending hashtag on her name and memes to mock her with others stating her mental health condition of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as the reason she is controversial.
