Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has once again chastised the United Kingdom Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, over her comment on the state of insecurity in the country and the conduct of the Nigerian Police.
He slammed the British politician via a post he shared on his official X page on Thursday night.
TheNiche had earlier reported that Badenoch, who is a British citizen of Nigerian descent, recently made some unpleasant remarks about Nigeria and its institutions.
In an interview with a British journalist, she accused Nigerian police officers of stealing her brother’s wristwatch and shoes, while defending the UK police.
Reacting to her comments, Fani-Kayode wondered why Badenoch ignored the atrocities committed by British police officers.
He made it clear that despite her praise for the UK police, it remains one of the most racist security agencies in the Western world.

He went on to remind her that the Nigerian Police she is disparaging offers protection to her mother in Lagos, Nigeria.
Speaking via his verified social media handle, Fani-Kayode tweeted, “She says she trusts the British police and claims that Nigerian policemen stole her brother’s watch and shoes.
“But she refuses to acknowledge the fact that the British police are amongst the most institutionally racist and corrupt in the world.
“That many black people, including Nigerians, have been framed, persecuted, tortured, illegally incarcerated, maliciously prosecuted and killed over the years including thousands of Nigerians who are butchered yearly on the streets of the UK in violent knife crimes.
“The British police turned a blind eye to all of these simply because most of the victims are black.”
Fani-Kayode added: “Given her views about our policemen, one wonders why she insists on her mother having police protection in Lagos.”
