Cops ‘assessing’ Sir Mo Farah’s bombshell revelation he was trafficked into UK
“It's a shocking reminder of the horrors that people face when they are trafficked and we must continue to clamp down on these criminals who take advantage of vulnerable people.”
In the film, which aired this week, Sir Mo cries as he reveals: “Most people know me as Mo Farah, but it's not my name or it's not the reality. The real story is, I was born in Somaliland, north of Somalia, as Hussein Abdi Kahin.“When I was four my dad was killed in the civil war. I was separated from my mother, and I was brought into the UK illegally under the name of another child called Mohamed Farah.
“To be able to face it and talk about the facts, how it happened, why it happened, it's tough. The truth is I'm not who you think I am. And now whatever the cost, I need to tell my real story.” Usually, citizenship can be stripped if an applicant gave "false information or concealed information concerning their identity, for example by using a false name” or used someone else's identity.
But given Sir Mo's age at the time, he falls under Home Office guidance to assume a child is not complicit in gaining citizenship by deception.and was also under the age of criminal responsibility in Britain - ten - at the time.
