Leader of the UK’s Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, has continued attacking Nigeria, claiming it is an impoverished country.
Naija News reports that Kemi Adegoke, who changed her last name after marrying a Scottish banker, has been in the news recently over uncomplimentary things about Nigeria.
In an interview with a US media outfit, ‘The Free Press’, Badenoch said officers of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) stole her brother’s watch and shoe.
She said, “My experience with the Nigerian police was very negative. However, my experience with the British Police was very positive when I came to the UK.
“The police in Nigeria will rob us. When people say I have this bad experience with the police because I’m black, I say well… I remember the police stole my brother’s shoe and his watch.
“It’s a very poor country. People do all sorts of things. So, giving people a gun is just a licence to intimidate. But that’s not just the problem.
“That is not the bar we should use for the British police. When I was burgled, for example, the police were there. They were helpful before they eventually caught the person. This was in 2004… that was 20 years ago.”
