Former Minister of Aviation, Fani-Kayode, has again blasted the leader of the British Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, over her criticism of Nigeria.
Recall that Badenoch, a Nigerian born British citizen, has consistently attacked Nigeria and its institutions.
In a recent interview with a British journalist, she accused police officers back home of stealing her brother’s wristwatch and shoes in defence of the UK police.
Reacting to her comments about Nigeria, Vice President Kashim Shettima recently told her to remove ‘Kemi’ from her name if she was not proud of her Nigerian roots.
However, Fani-Kayode while replying to Badenoch in a post via his official X handle on Thursday, said the conservative party leader cannot demand for police protection for her mother in Lagos from the police she attacked
“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.
“Given her views about our policemen, one wonders why she insists on her mother having police protection in Lagos”, Fani-Kayode added.
