WATCH: Nigel Farage 'hopes and prays' UK deports migrant who threatened to kill him

Speaking on the campaign trail in Caerphilly, Mr Farage said: "I just hope and pray that he is deported to Sweden to fight this case.

"My big fear was, at some point, maybe very soon, he'd be out free on the streets."

The Clacton MP's comments came after it emerged that the small boat migrant faces a court appearance in Sweden for allegedly filming a naked girl aged under 18.

Mr Farage added: "The most frightening thing about this particular young Afghan coming into our country is we only found all these things out because somebody sent me some of his videos and I chose to expose it.

"Otherwise, he'd be walking around, maybe in your neighbourhood right now if I hadn't put that video out.

"And, think about this, whilst there may be some genuine people that cross the Channel almost every day, there are people like Mada Pasa that cross the English Channel and will do this country and its people, particularly its girls and women, very, very great harm."

The 26-year-old Afghan, Fayaz Khan, was found guilty of making a threat to kill the leader of Reform UK.

Khan, who is also known by his TikTok name Mada Pasa, appeared to tell his 340,000 followers: "Englishman Nigel… don't talk s**t about me.

"I come to England because I want to marry your sister. I want to come to England to go pop pop pop."

The 26-year-old, who has an AK-47 tattoo on his face, made 10 attempts to reach Britain via small boat before finally crossing the Channel on October 31 last year.

Khan refused to provide evidence to Southwark Crown Court during the trial.

However, jurors heard the small boat migrant tell police officers that he "didn’t know who Nigel Farage was" and that he "was never going to hurt anyone".

Jurors spent 11 hours and 55 minutes deliberating before finding Khan guilty at Southwark Crown Court.

The verdict was reached after Mr Farage told the court that the video was "pretty chilling".

"Given his proximity to guns and love of guns, I was genuinely worried," the Reform UK leader said. "He says he's coming to England and he's going to shoot me."

Prosecutor Peter Ratliff added that the threat to kill was "not some off-the-cuff comment" and the video was "sinister and menacing".

However, defence lawyer Charles Royle described Khan as "remonstrating in his own idiosyncratic, moronic, comedic, eye-catching, attention-seeking way" rather than making a threat to kill in the TikTok video.

The Metropolitan Police later revealed that Khan is due to be sentenced on October 14.

During Mr Farage's three-minute video, the Reform UK leader also issued a wider warning about the migrant crisis.

Concluding his video, the Reform UK leader said: "I don't believe this Government has got the guts to do anything.

"None of these people that cross the Channel should ever be free to walk the streets of our country.

"They should be detained and deported. And if this case doesn't prove that to you, then frankly, I don't know what will."
