Kemi Badenoch, the Nigeria-born leader of the British Conservative Party who derided the Nigeria Police, has been asked if she could bring British policemen from the United Kingdom when coming to Nigeria.

This was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday, 18th December, 2024 by the Executive Director of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), Professor Ishaq Akintola.

He equally advised the Nigeria Police to boycott work for 24 hours whenever Kemi Badenoch enters Nigeria to teach the woman a lesson.

“The Nigeria-born leader of the British Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, recently accused men of the Nigeria Police of stealing her brother’s shoes. She therefore elected to descend on the whole Nigeria police force as well as her fatherland.

“We would like to ask this woman if she could bring British police with her whenever she decides to come to Nigeria since she has no faith in our police force. At the same time, we would like to ask the Nigeria Police to withdraw their services for 24 hours only the day Kemi Badenoch enters Nigeria in order to teach her a lesson. At least that will enable her to know what it looks like to have no police in town.

According to the statement, Kemi Badenoch has been myopic and parochial in her assessment of our policemen in particular and the country in general. How can she judge thousands of policemen by the behaviour of only one of them? It is sheer stereotyping.

Professor Akintola said Kemi has failed to see beyond her nose as the Nigerian policemen are known to have performed heroic deeds while her own British police are known to have soiled their reputation with shocking criminal behaviours.

MURIC noted that there were many stories of heroic behaviour exhibited by Nigerian policemen.

The Islamic Group urged the Nigeria Police to forge forward and should not be deterred by negative comments of Kemi Badenoch and her minions, describing them are mere distractions.

Professor Akintola said In spite of the existence of a few bad eggs in the force, Nigerian policemen have every reason to raise their heads high.

“To Kemi Badenoch we have this to say, ‘It is clear you do not need the services of ‘thieves’ as you called our police force. But is it possible for you to bring your British Policemen with you whenever you contemplate coming to Nigeria? Anyway, the Tories are wise politicians and they know when to tender apologies even if you do not.’”
