UK Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has criticized the Nigerian Police for corruption, recounting personal negative experiences during an interview.
Speaking with a UK journalist, Badenoch accused Nigerian officers of robbing citizens instead of protecting them.
Badenoch recalled an incident where police officers stole her brother’s shoe and watch, describing the Nigerian Police as emblematic of the country’s broader economic struggles.
Contrasting this with her positive experiences with British law enforcement, she highlighted systemic issues in Nigeria’s policing culture.
While her comments have sparked debates, Badenoch stressed that the anecdote was not intended to tarnish Nigeria but to underline the urgent need for reforms in law enforcement.
