Man jailed for five years for threatening to kill Nigel Farage on TikTok

The man who came to England on a small boat and threatened to kill Nigel Farage was sentenced to 5 years in prison.

Fayaz Khan, 26, made a gun sign with his hand, pointed to the AK-47 tattoo on his face and named the Reform England leader in an October 2024 TikTok post.

Southwark Crown Court heard authorities believed the Afghan migrant had given them a false name and that he was actually a 31-year-old named Fayaz Husseini.

Farage described the threat as “pretty chilling” and added: “Given his affinity for guns and his love of guns, I was really worried.”

In the video, Khan pointed to the tattoo on his face and said he was going to “bang, blast, blast” the MP for Clacton, Essex, calling him “British Nigel”.

Sentencing him, the judge, Mrs Justice Steyn, said: “Your video was not more abuse, it was a threat to kill with a firearm and was, in Mr Farage’s words, ‘pretty chilling’.”
