Kemi Badenoch has stood by her past comments about Nigeria, after the vice-president of the West African country accused her of denigrating it.
The Conservative Party leader, who was born in the UK but mostly raised in Nigeria, has repeatedly described growing up in fear and insecurity in a country plagued by corruption.
On Monday, Nigerian Vice-President Kashim Shettima suggested Badenoch could "remove the Kemi from her name" if she was not proud of her "nation of origin".
