BBNaija’s Khafi faces Met Police misconduct hearing for joining reality show without being authorized
Reality TV star, Khafilat Kareem, popular as Khafi, is currently facing a misconduct hearing for going for the Big Brother Naija reality show in 2019 without prior authorization by the Met police.
Khafi, who worked as a police officer in the UK at the time of the show, said during a misconduct tribunal that she appeared on the show to “promote the Met Police globally”.
The misconduct tribunal heard that hours before going on the show, PC Khafilat Kareem called one of the Met’s most senior officers asking him to reverse an order for her not to do so. Khafi was eventually evicted from the show after 77 days.
According to the Met, she went on air “without authority”.
At the hearing at the Empress Building in west London on Monday, April 25, PC Kareem admitted she took and surrendered her laptop to the BBNaija organisers.
She however, denied allegations of breaching standards in respect of “orders and instructions” and “discreditable conduct”.
PC Kareem also denied an allegation she failed to declare a business interest in relation to publicity and promotion of the TV show.
Anne Studd QC, for the Met Police, told the tribunal: “Having seen the UK episodes of the show, concerns were raised. “But, PC Kareem said Naija was not like the UK version. She saw it as a chance to promote the Met on an international basis.
