Failed asylum seeker back in UK

BBC NEWS | UK | Scotland | Glasgow, Lanarkshire and West | Failed asylum seeker back in UK

A failed asylum seeker who had been living in Scotland is back in the UK after attempts to deport her failed.

Fatou Felicity Gaye and her four-year-old son, Arouna, were taken to Dungavel Detention Centre after a dawn raid in Glasgow earlier this month.

They were flown to Ivory Coast on Thursday but turned back after officials there refused them entry.

Ms Gaye and her son are being held at a Home Office facility in London while their case details are clarified.

A spokeswoman for the UK Border Agency said it did not comment on individual cases.
