British Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch, who has previously sparked controversy with her remarks about Nigeria, recently shared her negative experiences with the Nigerian police.
In an interview with The Free Press, which began trending on Saturday, Badenoch was asked whether she trusted the British police.
Responding to the question, Badenoch 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.”
Meanwhile, majority of Nigerians are strongly supporting Kemi Badenock, while maintaining that she spoke the truth about the Nigerian police.

Dear @PoliceNG
Whoever the nigerian policeman was on duty that day that βobtainedβ, sorry, that stole,Β Kemi Badenochβs brotherβs shoe and watch at the police checkpoint many years ago, please return it.
Kemi has clearly not forgotten that criminal policeman.
If you want Kemi to stop βdemarketing Nigeriaβ, go and return that shoe please ππΏ.
“Kemi is just one of the many hundreds of Nigerians from whom the police have stolen various possessions.
She has a platform to express this, and all of us know that this is exactly what is happening. Yet, we continue to behave like Kemi, spreading lies. If you give a hundred people the opportunity to speak, they will share stories of the atrocities committed against them by the police, which far exceed the value of shoes and wristwatches.
I am also a victim of police robbery.”
