A terrified family with a newborn baby fleeing from threats and torture in Nigeria have been "traumatised" by a days-long ordeal that saw them locked out of their flat, taken away in a police van and moved from Scotland to York.
Henry Okwo and his wife Blessing sought asylum in the UK in December 2022, with kids Ferdinand, four, Beauty, two, and Henry, four months.
However Glasgow Live reports that Henry, a masters student at Strathclyde University, had his right to work removed without warning, forcing him to give up their privately let flat in Coatbridge.
