BBNaija’s ‘Pepper Dem’ edition housemate, Khafilat Kareem popularly known as Khafi escaped termination of her appointment after she was issued a final warning for participating in the 2019 edition of the show without permission.
TheNiche had earlier reported that Khafi underwent a misconduct hearing in the United Kingdom earlier in the week for going on the TV reality show despite being warned against doing so by her employer.
The Metropolitan Police argued during the hearing that her appearance on the show was “not in the best interest of either her or the Metropolitan Police Service”.
Though the mother of one during questioning contended that she went on the show to “promote the Met Police” globally.

Khafi also denied allegations of breaching standards in respect of “orders and instructions” and “discreditable conduct.”
But the hearing panel thought otherwise and ruled that Khafi breached the standards of professional behaviour.
According to Sky News, the BBNaija star eventually escaped a sack, but she was issued a final written warning after the hearing.
In 2019, the 29-year-old went against the counseling of her bosses not to attend the show in Nigeria, rather she asked for unpaid leave and participated.
Until her eviction, Khafi spent 77 days in the BBNaija house, where she met her husband, Gedoni Ekpata and the couple are blessed with a child.
