Social media users are reacting to the response of one of the sons of Investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo to Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo.
Kemi Filani reported that Iyabo wrote an open letter to them, 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 clarified that they love their mother even when they each have their struggles.
The news has divided social media, with some applauding him over his response while others slammed him for weighing into their fight.
