Met Police ‘poster girl’ who defied bosses by appearing on Nigeria’s Big Brother after being refused permission, Khafi Kareem, has finally returned to the UK.

The 29-year-old was evicted from the show on September 15 but remained in Nigeria until last Friday where she continued to boost her ‘celebrity’ profile.

Within hours of touching down back in the UK Khafi was attending a meet and greet for fans in Lewisham.

Khafi defied orders by taking part in the popular show after she was warned not to do so.

She will now learn whether she faces a misconduct hearing following talks with Met top brass in the coming weeks.

In an interview following her eviction, she told Legit website:

“No action has been taken by the Met Police authorities yet. In fact, they are waiting for me to come back to work.

“I will travel back to the United Kingdom soon and we would talk about all these things.”

Now Scotland Yard has said they are still waiting for the conclusion of an investigation by the Met’s directorate of professional standards.

In the meantime, police say she is still a serving police officer.

At the time, a Met Police spokesman said:

“A PC, attached to the Met’s transformation command, requested permission to take part in a reality television entertainment show in Nigeria. Permission was not given.

“The officer subsequently appeared on the show without authority.

“The Directorate of Professional Standards was informed and are carrying out an investigation into the circumstances.

“Prior to the refused request in relation to the show, the officer had asked for a period of unpaid leave for an unrelated reason. This was authorised.

“The Met did not support the officer’s appearance nor did she represent the Met whilst appearing on the show.”

Khafi appeared on the show from June 30 to September 15 after getting evicted in week 11.
