A United Kingdom-based pastor, Tobi Adegboyega, has condemned the claims made by UK Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, that Nigeria is a country that drives its citizens to engage in questionable behaviours.
Badenoch has been vocal about her opinion of Nigeria. She accused Nigerian leaders of being corrupt and responsible for the ills in the country.
Adegboyega, whose SPAC Nation church was recently shut down by the UK government due to allegations of mismanaging £1.87 million in church funds, responded to Badenoch’s claims by stating that nowhere is safe in the world.
“I completely disagree with that statement. Between 2023 and 2024, about 78,000 bags and phones were snatched in London and the UK alone. There’s a very strong Nigerian black community in this nation,” Adegboyega said during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday.
