Following recent accusations by Kemi Badenoch, leader of the UK’s Conservative Party, that some officers of the NPF stole her brother’s watch and shoes, James Akinwande, a United Kingdom, UK-based Nigerian, has replaced the stolen items.
Although, Badenoch did not indicate the year the incident happened in Nigeria, but said, “giving people a gun is just a licence to intimidate”.
The Tory leader has consistently shown her disdain for the leadership situation in Nigeria—a development that has earned her both admiration and condemnation.
However, in response to Badenoch’s comment on the alleged theft, Akinwande recorded a video wherein he entered a shop in the UK and bought a pair of shoes and a wristwatch.
According to Punch, in the video, Akinwande took the new items to the UK Conservative Party headquarters to present them to Badenoch.
At the pedestrian gate, Akinwande met the security personnel and handed over the items with the view of giving them to the Tory leader.
At the end of the video, Akinwande wrote: “On behalf of every proud Nigerian who felt genuinely hurt by those unfounded disparaging remarks about The Nigerian Police. We “buy back” the stolen shoes and watch! (I hope it fits, tho..).”
The video has been circulating on the social media.
In his Instagram profile profile, Akinwande identified himself as a legal representative, a golfer, and International manager to Kenny Blaq, a Nigerian music-comedian.
