GB News host Nana Akua erupts over migrant sex offender as she issues two-word statement

GB News presenter Nana Akua issued a scathing two-word statement about the current police manhunt for Hadush Kebatu, the migrant sex offender, who was mistakenly released from prison. The 38-year-old was jailed for 12 months in September for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl and another woman.

The former asylum seeker, who had been living at the Bell Hotel in Epping, where protests erupted over the summer, was due to be deported, but was released from HMP Chelmsford by error on Friday.

According to The Telegraph, the police manhunt began for Kebatu after he was wrongly categorised as a prisoner due to be released on licence and handed a £76 discharge grant. Reacting to the reports, Nana was at the GB News studios as she shared her thoughts on an Instagram video. She chuckled: "You really couldn't make this up.

"I've just been reporting that Hadush Kebatu, that is the guy who sexually assaulted two people in Epping, the migrant who was sentenced to 12 months in prison to be deported, and you literally couldn't make this up, he's been released by accident."

Expressing her disbelief, Nana continued: "I'm sorry, but I just feel like this country is descending into toytown. This is utter lunacy.

"He's apparently been seen on the streets - there's a little video of him, it's definitely him ... I do have one thought, and my thought is this, just say GB News didn't exist, I wonder if we would've got to hear about it. Just saying."

Nana's scathing remarks went on in the caption as she wrote: "You couldn't make this up.. #Eppingmigrant released from prison.. by accident! Clown world."

Many of her followers agreed with her sentiments, as they also took to the comments with shock. One fumed: "Unbelievable, don't know weather to laugh or cry, can this country get any worse?"

Another added: "So worrying for the victim and her family. UK is a joke, it's actually embarrassing. Total chaos."

As a third claimed: "We're the most filmed country in the world via CCTV and you're telling me this man vanished from outside a court! Wake up people! Government corruption."

"I thought Frank Spencer would be retired for sure, but seems he was still working. What an absolute sketch show," slammed one follower. As another echoed: "I heard someone say earlier the UK is now like a Carry On film."

The UK Justice Secretary David Lammy said he was "appalled" by Kebatu's accidental release.

In a statement on X, the Deputy Prime Minister wrote: "I am appalled at the release in error at HMP Chelmsford. We are urgently working with the police to track him down, and I've ordered an urgent investigation."
