The news as it trends.
In a surprising turn of events, a UK-based Nigerian man, James Akinwande, has returned a pair of shoes and a wristwatch allegedly stolen from Kemi Badenoch’s brother by officers of the Nigeria Police Force.
Badenoch, the leader of the UK’s Conservative Party, recently claimed in an interview that some NPF officers stole her brother’s belongings, describing the police officers’ behavior as an abuse of power.
In response to her comments, Akinwande recorded a video showing him purchasing a pair of shoes and a wristwatch in a UK store.
He then visited the Conservative Party headquarters, where he handed the items to security personnel to be delivered to Badenoch.
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..).”
As seen below, the video has gone viral, but Akinwande’s original video has been taken down
According to Akinwande’s Instagram profile, he is the international manager of popular Nigerian comedian, Kenny Blaq.
