VIDEO: Kemi Badenoch accuses Nigerian Police of stealing brother’s shoes, watch
British Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch has once again stirred controversy with her remarks about Nigeria, this time recounting a troubling experience with the Nigerian police.
In an interview with The Free Press that began trending on Saturday, Badenoch was asked whether she trusted the British police. Her response drew a stark comparison between her experiences in Nigeria and the UK.
“I do,” Badenoch stated. “My experience with the police in Nigeria was very negative, and coming to the UK, my first experience with the police was very positive. The police in Nigeria would rob us.”
She went on to detail a personal incident, claiming, “I remember the police stealing my brother’s shoes and his watch. It’s a very poor country, so people do all sorts of things.”
