Children taken into care as Home Office breaks own guidance on family separations
The Guardian newspaper reported this weekend on a distressing story of three children aged eight, six and five, who were taken into care when the Home Office detained their father, Kenneth Oranyendu.
The three children, and the children’s mother, are British citizens. Their mother is currently in Nigeria, attending a family funeral.
