Insp Charles Ehikioya could lose job after ruling that he took part in sharing of sexist comments and racist remarks

The head of the Metropolitan police’s Black Police Association (MBPA) committed gross misconduct over his participation in a WhatsApp group that shared sexist comments and racist remarks about Asian people, a police tribunal has found.

Insp Charles Ehikioya faces potential dismissal after Friday’s tribunal ruling at Palestra House in London. It found he was in a chat group with a former officer, Carlo Francisco, where racist, misogynistic, homophobic and pornographic messages were sent.
