Journalist and blogger, Kemi Olunloyo has been remanded in prison custody, The Punch reports.

Olunloyo was granted bail earlier on Thursday by a Port Harcourt Chief’s Magistrate Court.

But a Federal High Court in Rivers has denied the daughter of the former governor of Oyo bail and remanded her in prison.

However, charges against the Port Harcourt-based publisher, Samuel Walson, were dropped.

Olunloyo and Walson were arrested for allegedly publishing defamatory stories against the General Overseer of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie.
