James Akinwande, a Nigerian based in the United Kingdom, has purchased a new pair of shoes and a wristwatch to replace those allegedly stolen from Kemi Badenoch's brother by members of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
In a recent interview, Badenoch, leader of the UK’s Conservative Party, revealed that some officers of the NPF had taken her brother’s watch and shoes. While she did not specify when the incident occurred, she criticized the use of firearms by police, stating, "Giving people a gun is just a license to intimidate."
Badenoch, born Olukemi Adegoke to Nigerian Yoruba parents in the UK, later adopted her husband’s surname after marrying a Scottish banker. She spent her early years in Nigeria before returning to the UK at the age of 16.
Her remarks about Nigeria have sparked controversy, earning criticism from figures such as Vice-President Kashim Shettima, who accused her of "constantly denigrating" her homeland. Badenoch has often expressed disdain for Nigeria's leadership, a stance that has led to both praise and backlash.
In response to her comments about the alleged theft, Akinwande filmed a video in which he purchased new shoes and a wristwatch from a UK store. He then took the items to the Conservative Party headquarters, where he handed them to the security personnel at the entrance with the intent that they 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..).” The video has since gained traction on social media.
On his Instagram profile, Akinwande identifies himself as a legal representative, golfer, and International manager for Nigerian comedian Kenny Blaq. He has also worked with prominent Nigerian figures like AY Makun and Woli Arole.
