Femi Oluwole, a 36-year-old activist based in Birmingham, has accused West Midlands Police of exhibiting ‘clear bias’ following a dispute over a social media post related to deportation. The incident began when Oluwole reported a tweet by political commentator Nick Buckley MBE, who described Oluwole as a ‘poster boy for mass deportation’. In an unexpected turn, the police responded by warning Oluwole that his own comments about the matter were ‘borderline a criminal offence’.
The situation has raised concerns about impartiality and the handling of online interactions by law enforcement. Oluwole’s response reflects frustration with how his complaint and subsequent communication were managed. The police have not issued any further statements regarding the matter at this time.
