A care worker's family have been told they must return to Ghana after they were unable to afford the cost of replacement visas.

Esther Kondu, her husband Osei, and their three primary school age daughters were told they had to get new visas when the company that had sponsored her to come to Britain had its licence revoked by the Home Office.

The family said they could not afford the £2,755 cost on top of the expense of moving to Britain, and after the employer failed to come up with the promised work.

The Home Office said it does not comment on individual cases.
