Deya is alleged to have stolen five Kenyan children between 1999 and 2004, has been battling deportation since 2007.

Deya has thwarted successive bids to stay in Britain, failing in a high court appeal in 2008.

Police in Kenya in 2006 had issued a warrant of arrest for him after his wife, Mary, was arrested in Nairobi in September and charged with involvement in child trafficking.
