An evangelist who claimed to have created miraculous pregnancies through prayer is to be sent back to Kenya to face child abduction charges. Gilbert Deya, who has held services in Peckham, south London, has fought a legal battle to stay in the UK since 2007, arguing anything else would breach his human rights. Now the home secretary Theresa May has decided extradition should go ahead. The Kenyan government alleges he stole five children between 1999 and 2004. Gilbert Deya is wanted on child abduction charges in Kenya Concerns were first aired about Mr Deya's conduct on the BBC Radio 4 investigative programme, Face the Facts in 2004. Infertile or post-menopausal women who attended his church in Peckham, South London were told they would be having "miracle" babies. But the babies were always "delivered" in backstreet clinics in Nairobi. The Tottenham MP, David Lammy, had a husband and wife turn up at his constituency surgery who had been through it. "The couple went to Africa, came back into the country with a child that the authorities found out was not theirs through a DNA test. "What unravelled was clearly a child trafficking situation, that didn't just involve my constituents, but involved a number of women making their way to Kenya and then arriving back into our country apparently thinking these children were theirs but they clearly were not," he said. Gilbert Deya was interviewed on Face the Facts in 2004. When asked how he explained the births of children with DNA different to that of their alleged parents, he said: "The miracle babies which are happening in our ministry are beyond human imagination. "It is not something I can say I can explain because they are of God and things of God cannot be explained by a human being." Read on

So far grimes conversion to mainstream success has lacked a stand out performer but twenty-year-old Tinie Tempah might just be the jewel in the crown. Taking an American swagger and marrying it to a typically English sense of lyrical wordplay Tempah takes what can be a small-town sound and makes it global. His use of simile and metaphor is questionable but with an irrepressible energy and guest vocal spots from Kelly Rowland (Invincible) and Ellie Goulding (Wonderman) on top of three top five hits, this Peckham born rapper might just have made the most fun pop album of the year. 8/10 Words by David Renshaw
