A UK-based Nigerian Engineer, Irish Naija, has supported Kemi Badenoch after she said the police in Nigeria robs people while recalling how the police stole her brother's shoes and watch.


Here is Irish Naija's story:

I used to run a kitchen in Yesufu Abiodun, Oniru, where I supplied food to banks and offices in Victoria Island, Lagos. My 15-year-old son often helped with deliveries, as he had just completed his WAEC exams in 2018. On one particular day, we had a delivery close to our house. Since it was nearby, he went without the driver, carrying the food and our POS machine.

Tragically, the Nigerian police abducted him, confiscated his phone, and took him to the anti-cultism unit in Gbagada. We searched everywhere in Victoria Island, unaware that he had been taken so far away. Eventually, they allowed him to call me, and his terrified voice broke me: “Mummy, are you on your way? I’m so scared.”

My husband and I, along with our lawyer, rushed to the station. At the gate, they took our phones, and then I saw my son—half-naked and sitting on the ground with over 100 others outside the station. I collapsed in tears. My husband, who is British, demanded to see the DPO and asked him directly: “What offense are you charging my son with?” The boy hadn’t been allowed to explain himself, yet the food and POS machine were right there at the station. The DPO’s response? “Because he dyed his hair.” That was it. Nothing more.

In the end, we were forced to pay for his release. This incident was a turning point for my husband, who decided that we couldn’t continue living in Nigeria.

What made this even more painful was the nature of our family. My children were homeschooled, had no social circles outside the family, and never went anywhere without us. They were raised in a closely-knit environment. At the time of this ordeal, I was seven months pregnant, and the trauma of the experience caused me to go into premature labor, resulting in an emergency C-section.

My son’s only “crime” was being a hardworking boy, helping with his parents’ legitimate business—a business that provided employment for Nigerians. For my husband, a white British man, to witness such injustice firsthand was a harrowing experience.

Many of us have bitter, painful stories about the Nigerian system. Yet when we speak out and tell the truth, we are accused of defamation or subjected to cyberbullying. It’s truly heartbreaking.
I personally say that Kemi should be left alone, she is saying exactly what she experienced and if I'm asked anywhere in the world the same question, I will narrate my ordeal, so will every member of my family!

Pathetic

Noted.

police is just a group of armed robbers recruited by the government to torment the citizen's.i call them government license armed robbers

I love the way this woman is calling the Nigeria police out.

Since end SAR could not stop, may be her talk will reduce their excesses.

KEMI BAD ENOCH 2 - Nigerian police 0.

If ordinary Nigerians share their own experiences in the hands of Nigerian police, you will agree that they should be disbanded.

Tinubu's police stole your children's shoes? Wao

Nigeria Police has done worse.

Nigeria Police are just something else, think about any crime, they're the leading role there.

No day one will leave his or her house that you won't see Police either extorting someone, or violating someone's fundamental human right, fighting and many other shameful act.

Person go wee-wee for body if you hear the horror of what the Nigeria Police officers do to their fellow Nigerians.

Useless contributions from an irrelevant person


We have a very conservative culture here and its only normal to see excesses like that as a violation of the law

Its not one of the developmental indices of a country, so comparing UK and the U.S to Nigeria on this basis is daft


Women cant uncover their hairs in public places in Saudi, yet you lots never related that to underdevelopment and you still even respect them for that

The system is terribly bad because evil is been celebrated over good in Nigeria... People celebrate thieves and rougues in Nigeria, wicked and evil people are recognized in Nigeria over hardworking and well mannered beings.

Even here on Nairaland, the Truth is suppressed by the moderators. They don't want you to speak the truth the way it is.

We all know that Tinubu rigged his way into presidency and we can't have such a thief as a President and expect all to be well as a Country. Nigerians, awake from slumber and always speak truth especially to power.

Nigerians are governed by Thieves in governance

Truth is bitter

How wiil production pick up under such brutal and chaotic conditions? Agbero can stop you. Police can abduct you. Your landed property can be stolen even if a skyscraper.
Robbers can ask you to prepare something for them in advance and still rob you.

The APC zombies hate to hear the truth

Lol...foreign version of END SARZ movement just got kicked off!.....Kemi on the beats!!

Police is a curse to Nigeria

even my friend back then. they actually detained me for dressing normal nd driving my brother's Mercedes, they said they will take me to Asaba from Warri, i was still in University that time.

It took one phone call to Commisioner of Police by my sister before d idioots freaked out nd apologised to me.

my sister get bad mouth sha, how time flies!

Naija police are made of 95% rogues

If not for the endsars protest, it would have been worse than it is now

sheguy:
I love the way this woman is calling the Nigeria police out.

Calling her out to your Oyinbo gods.

Stupid slaves.

Okay now that she has disgraced you before her white masters, what will change in Nigeria?

WHAT HAVE YOU BENEFITED?

Dumbass idiots.

Only you have problems in the world.

G

Where are those Tinubu urchins... Oya come and call this one out again. Foo.ls that can't tell the truth and are afraid of hearing the truth. Why was there ENDSARS in the first place. Wasn't it because of things like this??

It is about time Nigeria police needs to reform retire the crooks among them

They will soon say she is IPOB, let me quickly help them.

Lol

I don even experience worse sef
Police and army wey carry me go one corner empty my account because say I dread my hair.

This is my reply to one of those people on NL speaking against KEMI by saying Rishi sunak isn't attacking INDIA like KEMI is doing...................................myreply...............

How many years did Rishi sunak spend LIVING in IndIa? He never suffered, terrorized and destiny raped like Kemi experienced living 16 solid YEARS of her early life in Nigeria.

So I asked who has the potential to easily call out his/her country of origin? Sunak Rishi is from a Rich family so why should he be bothered to fight his home country. It is someone who had been practically abused like Kemi Badenoch experienced, that will speak up.

A raped victim has got the right to speak out, Nigeria raped her destiny as a Nigerian that she became hopeless and had to leave the country some decades ago just the same way many young Nigerians are trooping out of the country presently.


If after 20 years down the line, these young people leaving the country presently start speaking out just like KEMI BADENOCH on how Nigeria corrupt system raped and frustrated their destinies ......YOU HYPOCRITE of a people will tell them to shout up?

May NIGERIA corrupt system NOT happen to you. If you said amen or desire to say so, but condemned KEMI BADENOCH for saying the obvious truth about Nigeria, you are a SHAMELESS HYPOCRITE.

Just arrest .?

Vuvuzela2:
Tinubu's police stole your children's shoes? Wao

So na Tinubu's Police for 2018?

Go retrieve your brain please!

Kemi we understand you, Nigerians are slaves in their own country
Just yesterday, a retard opened a thread where he suggested any man wearing earring should be arrested!
