Story summary

Abu Wadee, a 34-year-old Palestinian asylum seeker who previously called for Jews to be killed, was recently moved from a taxpayer-funded house in Corby after causing controversy. He had been living there under the Home Office’s asylum dispersal scheme since his release from prison in December. Earlier this week, Wadee claimed he no longer supported Hamas and wanted to stay in the UK. However, footage emerged showing him at Willow Place Shopping Centre in Corby, about a mile-and-a-half away from his home, where he encouraged British teens to chant "Free Palestine!" for his TikTok feed. Two Northamptonshire Police officers were present when Wadee was driven away by a taxi with a housing officer loading his belongings. Prior to his arrest, Wadee had been involved in Hamas-affiliated militant activities in Gaza.
