Renowned investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo has stirred concern across social media platforms after posting a cryptic message on her verified Facebook page, hinting at her intention to commit suicide.
The 59-year-old journalist opened up about the profound despair she is currently experiencing, attributing it to relentless bullying she has faced recently. The distress reportedly stems from the aftermath of an inaccurate prediction she made regarding Nigeria’s performance in the AFCON semi-finals against South Africa.
In her emotional post, Olunloyo clarified that her prediction was not a prophecy but an observation. She expressed deep sorrow over the intense bullying she has endured, connecting it to the football match prediction.
“I’m about to drink sniper,” she wrote, alluding to the toxic substance commonly known for its lethal nature. The post has sparked widespread concern and calls for support from her followers and well-wishers.
Olunloyo’s situation underscores the serious impact of online bullying and the need for mental health awareness in the digital age. The news has prompted a collective plea for empathy and understanding, with supporters urging Olunloyo to seek professional help.

“I’m about to drink that Sniper now.
“Continue bullying me. I’ve done my 30 yrs February 9th 1994-2024. I left the country for you. I didn’t give anyone a prophecy about a game I know nothing about.
“I simply said Tyla has a strong spiritual energy that will make Nigeria lose and I dreamt 3 of our players were ill.
“Once I’m dead you will be happy. You ruined my career the last decade of it.
“Today marks my 30th year in a profession my own people forced me out of.
“Goodbye
“Dr Kemi Olunloyo
