Exactly 6 mos ago today, August 25th I was DEPORTED from Canada. A whole country cried #FOUL, nobody may ever know why. The Black Canadians said it was because I spoke too hard against the gun laws killing their children and the Conservatives wanted to rid black ppl from Canada. The Toronto Police Service said I did a lot in gun plagued communities for them, Canadian media said I antagonized the gun registry and the government made a big mistake by keeping the criminals and sending the good ones like me away. I did not commit any crime, never been charged or convicted regardless of anything u read online.
The criminals associates built many blogs online calling me criminal, fugitive, child abuser, deportee but somehow nobody could tell why I was deported. The Canadian Government needed a reason. Their reason was that my asylum visa was NOT renewable because after a pre-risk assessment, Nigeria was no longer dangerous for field Journalists. I can NEVER work in this country again as a field Journalist. Canada was a journey in my life. I was always a community activist but not against guns.
Without Canada I would not have started the HipHossip Music Foundation, using Music responsibly to End Gun Violence. The Canadian govt detained me for a week, not in the immigration detention center, but a maximum security women's prison with baby killers and murderers. This was so I could not flee to the United States with my children who were Americans. They wanted me deported to my dangerous country Nigeria. However, contrary to online reports, I NEVER fought my deportation or stopped it in Federal Court.
There is a lot of Gun Violence in the world, especially the music industry. My aim is to eradicate that culture. Thanks to all that supported my journeys. I have moved on now and put Canada behind me. I did my best and help solved almost 16 murders. To all the WHITE Canadians that supported my deportation, ignorance or racism does not excuse stupidity.
Special thanks to the Toronto Police Service who released this statement to the media
“She could reach an audience that myself as a police officer and us as a police service were having challenges to reach,”said Constable Scott Mills, who works in social media for Toronto police. “[But] she definitely made a lot of noise, which at times caused some stress. Sometimes, as a cop, in order to keep the streets safe, you have to dance with the wolves. I don’t want to call Kemi a wolf, because I think she has a good heart. But at the same time, not only in Toronto but in other jurisdictions, we have solved some major incidents because of her work.”...Globe and Mail Canada's National newspaper 8/27/12
“I’ve been criticized by the public and colleagues for associating with her,” said Const. Scott Mills of Crime Stoppers. “But the bottom line is we solved some crimes because of my association with her and we have received info in a timely way, where we got guns off the streets and saved lives.”...Toronto Star/Metro News 8/27/12
“There’s no doubt in my mind that we received information through working with Kemi that saved people’s lives,” Toronto Police Const. Scott Mills said “And if I have to take some criticism for saying that, so be it.”...Toronto Sun 8/27/12
I HAVE HEARD ALL THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES WITH THE GUN ACTIVISTS, NRA AND CANADIAN GUN REGISTRY THEORIES. I WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR THE VICTIMS OF GUN VIOLENCE THRU SOCIAL MEDIA.
Thanks to Chief William Blair, Deputy Chief Peter Sloly Executive Command, Former Homicide Chief, 12D Suprintendent and now Deputy Chief Mark Saunders, Social Media CrimeStoppers Officer PC Scott Mills, Sgt Jeffrey Pearson of TPS Guns and Gangs unit, Sgt Tony Foccione of TAVIS (Toronto Anti-Violence Initiative Strategy) and the new Homicide Chief Greg McClean. Pls HELP solve an outstanding HOMICIDE in Toronto. BIGGEST thanks goes to the entire staff of the Toronto Sun who followed me thru this journey especially Crime Reporter Chris Doucette--Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo
