‘I have had ENOUGH!’: Alex Armstrong unleashes scathing attack on Labour after Epping migrant escapes

He described the release as a “complete failure of the system” and warned that women across the capital will now be fearful for their safety.

Speaking on GB News, Alex said: "I am a little bit sick to death of it all. A dangerous Ethiopian paedophile and sexual predator is now at large in London.

"It is utterly astounding that one of the most well-known faces and names, someone who has been on the front page of every major newspaper and media outlets, has been accidentally released.

"I can’t imagine the trauma and fear this will cause for the poor child he sexually abused. The fact of the matter is that this man should never have been allowed to set foot in Britain in the first place.

"He should have been on the first boat, the first train, the first plane out of this country alongside the hundreds or even thousands of others who should have been deported from day one.

"That’s the truth, isn’t it? Now, we have women across the capital who will undoubtedly be looking over their shoulders tonight, while this monster roams free around our city.

"An eyewitness has even claimed he saw prison staff repeatedly turn him away and direct him towards Chelmsford railway station when he tried to re-enter the prison.

"It’s insane, and I think it speaks volumes about broken Britain and this Government."

The Epping migrant was meant to be sent to an immigration detention centre from HMP Chelmsford ahead of a planned deportation, but he was accidentally released from prison on Friday.

Speaking to reporters, Met Police Commander James Conway said Kebatu has "made a number of train journeys" across London since his release.

Police believe Kebatu "has access to funds" and has "sought assistance from members of the public" after his release.

Mr Conway then made a direct appeal to Kebatu: "We want to locate you in a safe and controlled way. You had already indicated a desire to return to Ethiopia when speaking to immigration staff.

"The best outcome for you is to make contact directly with us by either calling 999 or reporting yourself to a police station."

Essex Police inquiries show that Kebatu boarded a London-bound train from Chelmsford and Scotland Yard has now taken over the investigation.

After boarding train from Chelmsford, Kebatu eventually got off a service that stopped at Stratford at around 1.10pm.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called the release “totally unacceptable” and said Kebatu “must be caught and deported for his crimes.”
