Aged 17, Kobe was identified by the UK government as a child victim of trafficking.When Theresa May became prime minister she attempted to make tackling modern slavery a legacy of her premiership. The current government has also been keen to flag its credentials. Earlier this year, the Home Office minister Victoria Atkins stated she was committed to safeguarding victims of this horrific crime .But Kobe has been told he will be sent back to Ghana, a west African country he has no memory of since arriving in London aged five.
