Controversial preacher Gilbert Deya, 65, has been extradited to Kenya to face child trafficking charges.
Deya arrived at 5 am on Friday aboard a KQ flight.
This is after his appeal over the extradition request was rejected by a UK court.
The preacher runs an evangelical church in Peckham, south-east London.
He has been on the list of most wanted persons for human trafficking since 2004.

In 2014, a London court acquitted Deya of separate charges of rape and sexual assault.
The Inner London Crown court entered a plea of not guilty against Deya.
He had been charged with four counts of rape, one of attempted rape, two of sexual assault and one of battery.
He denied all the charges.
