Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Zyad Ibn Isah, says the UK Metropolitan Police is far from being perfect despite rising from its messy state in the ’80s.

Isah’s comments came on the heels of recent derogatory comments aimed at the Nigerian Police by UK Conservative Party member Kemi Badenoch, who accused the force of corruption and harassment.

Speaking on his social media on Sunday, Isah maintained that the UK police had its fair share of a bad image in the ’80s before the introduction of David Rose’s reforms.

“I would recommend David Rose’s ‘In the Name of the Law’ to Kemi Badenoch. The truth is the London Metropolitan Police was a mess in the 1960s, 1970s, and even the 1980s.

“It was through various reforms and even a change of name that they became what they are today. If the questioner had asked a British citizen in the 1960s or 1970s whether they trusted the British police, I doubt they would have said yes.

“The situation was that bad. Nigeria and its police force are not perfect—we know that. But we will rise from the ashes, just like the UK and its police force. Aunty Kemi should enjoy her new pastime of denigrating her fatherland while it lasts,” said the Abuja-based Police officer.

The Guardian reports that Badenoch, in an interview with US media outlet, The Free Press, had lambasted the Nigerian Police and accused them of robbing citizens they were supposed to protect.

“The police in Nigeria would rob us. The police stole my brother’s shoes and his watch. It’s a very poor country, so people do all sorts of things,” began Badenoch.

“They took his shoes and his watch? It’s a very poor country. People do all sorts of things. So, giving people a gun is just a license to intimidate. But that’s not just the problem. That is not the bar we should use for the British police. When I was burgled, for example, the police were there. They were helpful before they eventually caught the person. This was in 2004, that was 20 years ago.”

Who needs your rating...she is part of the British establishment. If you don't like any of the truth she stated you can relocate back to Nigeria to enjoy the good governance.

Yet, it does not justify the NPF high handedness in 2024! Awon werey dem.

They cannot deny it so attack whoever is better.

This comparison no just at all
.

Oha asp this is 2024, if your men are still acting like this in 2024, I don't see them being better in 2050

Exousiang01:


It said ranting.
I won't need a 2 minute check to know you are Obidient.

You only her because she is demonisng your country.

If you have ever taken a step outside your country you would know that she is not doing you a favor....


But anything that makes Nigeria look bad is good for your kind so....

Even to drop a simple comment you couldn't do so without insults.

I will be in Nigeria for the next elections again.
That your leader will never be president. Not with dogs as ers

You are very stupid , you are in Uk enjoying good governance but here you are boosting of coming to Nigeria to continue voting base tribalism then run back to a working country , you are dumb I need to come hard on you , is your lineage enjoying the govt you voted in Nigeria , tribalism k!ll you there in Uk 🇬🇧

Exousiang01:


Rule 2
Myndd44 you people allow folks like this go about insulting everyone on this forum.
No decorum.
No rules followed.
Just like savages

Why are you calling the mods? Coward

They are always looking for partners in failure.

If the UK Police was flawed in 1720 yet is on par with the 2024 Nigeria Police is that not a shameful thing?


Tinubu has failed.

Nigeria is a huge crime scene with lasting scars on the victims.

Must they always use bad things in other countries to compare Nigeria, why can't they use the good things?

Are you minding these guys?

I found out most of the popular monikers here ing Tinubu and this insane tribalism and bad governance all reside abroad, I mean more than 10 popular monikers here, I only pity their tribalist ers who don't know but reside in Nigeria ing them to do the nonsense they are doing thinking they are fighting for their tribe or the progress of Nigeria.

Her parrot mouth will soon humble her.

- Who no you for London? Mtchew!

The Metropolitan UK police caught stealing multiple times. Go and check online.

President Obama went to kenya, despite being only half black....talked about kenyans gracefully.
.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak went to India, he was also born in Britain...talked about Indians gracefully.

Minority leader Kemi....Stays in UK and decides to be having Oral Diarrhea, saying one nonsense after the other about Nigerians......very classless politician

Kemi Badenoch is just an idiot with a slave- mentality.She hates herself, hates that she is black.She is just projecting this hate unto Nigerians

You the mind that woman.

Kemi's criticism is true and fair. Period!!

Anger has history of changing things.

If Nigerian politicians and Nigerian police force feel disparaged by Anty Kemi's remakes. Perhaps it is time to look in the mirror and make those necessary changes.

Exousiang01:

Dem be fuls. They don't know anything. They don't understand Shetimma was fighting for them.



Any id*ot who thinks the fullish Kemi is doing them a favour needs their brain checked.

EponObi:
See them eating her ass because the one they hate is their president. I'm a Yoruba. F*ck her!

What's to ire about her? Keep iring her while she de-markets the country and every Nigerian on the global stage. You will eventually get it when the whites start increasing the tempo of marginalization and discrimination against Nigerian immigrants and those exporting their service from the motherland.

Your corrupt politicians won't suffer anything because when money speaks, bullshit keep quiet. The UK also needs their dirty money to inject into their economy.

It's you who need to sell your father's land and your properties and secure loans to process visa that will suffer. It's when the UK commission start bombarding you lots with stringent immigration criteria that your eyes go clear.

Those of you who already immigrated to the west, your eyes go peel. You people are already 4th class citizens; it's when your hosts start rating fellow African immigrants above you that blood will flow to your brain; or when other races starts avoiding you in the dating pool.

You wey hustle buy laptop to learn digital skills to earn dollars in the international market, it's when potential buyers start running from you like a plague because Kemi already told the world Nigeria and Nigerians are poor, corrupt and terrorists that you will understand what's going on. Nah, they won't reason with you that you are a southerner; you are a Nigerian, so that makes you a boko haram terrorist.

You know the funny part? Kemi is going no where. The single fact that she's a first generation immigrant means she's not going to become the Prime Minister - not even in 50 years. Na you blacks no wise; the whites are smarter than you. When the UK electorates show her the door, you are the one who will be left holding the pile of poo. Continue, let Kemi keep using your head for her own political ambition.

This girl don dey craze.
who trained Nigerian police?

The culture of corruption/robbing/ rape etc were learnt from the British police

LIES FROM THE DEEPEST PIT OF HELL

UK POLICE FROM BACK IN THE DAY WERE EVEN MORE STRICT THAN THEY ARE TODAY

GOD SAVE YOU SEY YOU EVEN ENTERTAIN THE THOUGHT OF BRIBING THEM

So ASP knws dt nigerian police is a mess?

True confession

Mumu assertion! You know that the police outfit in Nigeria is rubbish

Rise from which ashes? 9ja police is the most corrupt institution in the universe.

Leave Kemi alone and do your duty.

You are all wailing cos she said the blunt truth.

98% of 9ja police officers are criminals.

Fool stop!
