He was locked up in Mombasa after possessing bomb-making materials and forging documents to get Kenyan citizenship.

A government spokeswoman told the Daily Telegraph: “We can confirm that an individual was deported to the UK following the completion of a criminal sentence in Kenya.

“Our priority remains to ensure the safety and security of the UK.

“We will continue to do whatever is necessary to protect the UK and have one of the most robust counter-terrorism frameworks in the world to ensure this.”

Grant, a Muslim convert, was a close accomplice of Samantha Lewthwaite – the “White Widow” terror suspect who has been on the run for more than a decade.

Her husband Germaine was one of the four suicide bombers who killed 52 people in London in 2005.
