PC Khafilat Kareem reportedly lasted 77 days in Nigeria's Big Brother house

A Metropolitan Police officer has been given a final written warning after she appeared on Nigeria's version of Big Brother without permission.

PC Khafilat Kareem requested unpaid leave to feature on the reality TV show in June 2019, but was told by the force it was "not in the best interest for either her or the Metropolitan Police Service to take part".

Despite this, the officer appeared on the show in July 2019 and handed over her work laptop - which she had taken with her without permission - to the programme's organisers.

She entered the Big Brother house in Lagos and lasted 77 days before being evicted, according to reports.

A misconduct hearing panel ruled that PC Kareem had breached the standards of professional behaviour in relation to "orders and instructions" and "discreditable conduct", the Met Police said.

The panel found that gross misconduct was proven and PC Kareem should be given a final written warning.


Detective Chief Superintendent Andy Day said: "Permission was refused for PC Kareem to appear on the Nigerian version of Big Brother as it was felt it was not in the best interest for either her or the Metropolitan Police Service to take part.

"Despite this refusal, she went on the show anyway.

"A detailed investigation was carried out by the Met's directorate of professional standards which concluded PC Kareem should face gross misconduct proceedings.

"Being a police officer means you must abide by the standards of professional behaviour. PC Kareem's behaviour clearly fell far short and she has been given a final written warning."

According to reports, PC Kareem joined the Met Police as a PC based at Lambeth station in 2015, having worked part-time as a special constable for four years.

At the time she appeared on Nigeria's Big Brother, the show's website said the officer wanted "the exposure that being in Big Brother Naija House brings so that she can do societal good".

She told the show she is "secretly talented in spoken word, singing and dancing".

Fans of the show were particularly taken with her romance with fellow contestant Ekpata Gedoni.

The FUTURE is FEMALE. Met can go and melt down.

Nonsense. It seems the world is against women.

Wait

She gat it all, d fame and her job still intact. Great

Hmm. She enjoyed herself though.

Dismiss her already, let's move on!

To think if you own a business and everyone takes a cue from the same person , your business will never grow, discipline is the word here be it female or male.

What is bad is bad

Her ethnicity and ancestry affiliation should have been considered, fucking white racist

Congratulations to her

Gedoni or whatever his name is, he's very fortunate to meet this wonderful lady. I envy him, sharp guy e don rush give the girl belle born pikin.

But it seems a blessing in disguise as she got married to the man she met in that unholy assembly

You're really senseless if you think the world is against women. Don't think you have ever worked before in your life.

Which state are you

Good for her bad for them

baralatie:

How is her dismissal good

She got her husband and fame, good for her.
They lost an officer, bad for them.
She already lost the job the moment she defied them.

If they were serious from the get go she wouldn't have graced BBN but then she had her ways and they are still in the business of sending 'final' warning.

Something is wrong with this approach.
