A SOMALIAN rapist whose deportation was stopped by do-gooders on a plane is back on the streets of Britain.

Yaqub Ahmed, 29, was hauled off a flight to Turkey after holidaymakers kicked off prior to the plane leaving the runway at Heathrow.

A year on from the incident Ahmed is still on British soil and is now free to roam the streets with an electronic tag.

He attacked a 27-year-old mum with four other men in a London flat when she was just a teenager in 2007.

His victim told Mail on Sunday: “It’s just disgusting and it adds pressure on to me. He should be in a detention centre where he is kept away from the public.

“He has done something heinous and he was meant to be deported for it and now he is still roaming about – it’s absolutely ridiculous.”

The rape gang were jailed for a total of 35 years for the attack but after release Ahmed was moved to an Immigration Centre at a cost to taxpayers so far of at least £18,000.

Footage of his botched deportation showed holidaymakers demanding his release, with one shouting: "You’re free, man."

Travellers also yelled "they’re separating him from his family" and "take him off the plane" before he was led off by officials escorting him.

Ahmed is now believed to be living in the North East and was realised on bail while his legal team fight the deportation order.

He must also report to an immigration centre once a week, the Mail on Sunday revealed.

VICTIM'S ORDEAL

However, damning figures between 2014 and 2016 revealed that 494 foreign national offenders absconded while they were listed for deportation after serving jail time.

Speaking earlier month, Ahmed’s victim, who goes by the false name of Hannah, said she was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

She said: "A lot of the time I just feel hopeless, it’s never going to end, I’m never going to get away from it.

"They need to deport him. How have they allowed this to happen? It’s an absolute farce. I thought there was meant to be victim’s rights. Where are my rights here?"

Home Office sources say the Government is still planning to deport him, although he appears to have launched yet another appeal.

He was listed to appear before an immigration tribunal in Nottingham on March 14, but the Home Office and the tribunal last week refused to reveal the outcome of the hearing.
