PC Khafilat Kareem applied for unpaid leave to appear in the TV reality show in June 2019, but said by force that “it was not in the interest of either her or the Metropolitan Police Service to participate”. However, the officer appeared on the show in July 2019 and handed over her work laptop – which he had taken with her without permission – to the organizers of the program. He entered Big Brother’s house in Lagos and endured 77 days before the eviction, according to reports. A panel on misconduct ruled that PC Kareem had breached the standards of professional conduct regarding “commands and instructions” and “trustworthy conduct,” Met Police said. The commission found a serious misconduct and PC Kareem should be given a final written warning. Chief Detective Andy Day said: “Permission for PC Kareem to appear in the Nigerian version of Big Brother was denied, as it was deemed not in the interest of either her or the Metropolitan Police Service to participate.

“Despite this refusal, he went to the show anyway. “A thorough investigation was conducted by Met’s professional standards management, which concluded that PC Kareem should face serious misdemeanor proceedings. “Being a police officer means that you have to conform to the standards of professional conduct. PC Kareem’s behavior clearly went a long way and she was given one last written warning.” Image: PC Kareem pictured behind Cressida Dick as the Met celebrates 100 years of female officers PC Kareem reportedly joined the Met Police as a PC based at Lambeth Station in 2015, having worked part-time as a special police officer for four years.

He said on the show that he is “secretly talented in speech, song and dance.” The fans of the show were especially excited about her romance with the competitor Ekpata Gedoni.
