The first-ever failed asylum-seeker has been sent to Rwanda from the UK.
The unnamed migrant left Britain on Monday evening and has since landed in Kigali, The Sun has revealed.
The man, whose bid to stay in the UK was rejected in 2023, opted to be relocated to the African country for a new life.
Departing on a commercial flight, he was given £3,000 from the British taxpayer to relocate as part of the deal set up between the UK and Rwanda.
