Stranded: Exposing the UK’s immigration scammers

Focus on Africa

About this episode

A BBC investigation has found the UK visa system is being undermined by scammers who are swindling migrants out of thousands of pounds, by promising them jobs in Britain which often do not exist. We hear more from the BBC Africa Eye reporter.

Why is Kenya risking the wrath of Serbia, considered to be an ally, by recognising Kosovo and its claim to independence from Serbia?

And why is Ghana's Chief Justice facing renewed efforts to remove her from office?

Presenter: Audrey Brown Producers: Sunita Nahar, Amie Liebowitz and Nyasha Michelle in London. Daniel Dadzie in Accra, and Frenny Jowi in Nairobi Technical Producer: Gabriel O'Regan Senior Journalist: Patricia Whitehorne Editors: Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi
