UK Conservative Leader Badenoch Shares Harrowing Experience with Nigerian Police

..Says Nigeria is a very poor country

LONDON (CHATNEWSTV) — UK Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has opened up about a troubling encounter with police in Nigeria, describing her experience as deeply negative.

Speaking during a recent interview, Badenoch recounted an incident involving her family, highlighting issues of corruption within the Nigerian police force.

“They would rob us,” Badenoch said. “They stole my brother’s shoe and watch.”

Her remarks shed light on longstanding concerns about misconduct and extortion by law enforcement officers in Nigeria. For years, similar allegations have fueled calls for police reform in the country, culminating in the #EndSARS movement, which gained global attention in 2020.

Badenoch’s reflections add a personal dimension to the broader conversation about systemic corruption and its impact on ordinary citizens. As a prominent political figure of Nigerian descent, her comments resonate with many Nigerians who have shared similar experiences.

The Nigerian government has made some efforts to address these concerns, but critics argue that meaningful change remains elusive. Badenoch’s testimony serves as a reminder of the urgent need for accountability and reform.
