The Conservative Party leader in the United Kingdom, Kemi Badenoch, has continued her vitriolic attacks on Nigeria, the country of her birth as she got the mantle of leader of the party. She has not veiled her criticism of the country to the extent of denying being a Nigerian.
She said that she would rather be identified with Yoruba ethnic group, which occupies the southwest geopolitical zone and some other states including Kwara, Kogi and Edo.
In an interview in the UK, the controversial Conservative Party leader said that she has had bad experience with the police in Nigeria whereas the UK police have impressed her.
During the interview, Badenoch, who was asked if she trusted the British police, said, “I do. 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. 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 and giving people a gun is just a license to intimidate but that is not the ball we should use for the British police.
“My experience was very positive, like when I was burgled for example, the police were there, they were very helpful and they eventually got the person in 2004.”
