Afghan migrant jailed for threatening to kill Nigel Farage movies himself making gun gestures from inside jail cell
The Afghan migrant who was jailed over his threats to kill Nigel Farage has filmed himself making gun gestures from inside his prison cell.
Fayaz Khan, who goes by the nickname Mada Pasa, was jailed for five years last month over his threats he made to kill the Reform leader in a ‘sinister and menacing’ video posted on TikTok.
The migrant, who claims to be 26 but is actually believed to be at least five years older, was also handed a further eight months for entering Britain illegally.
Just weeks into his sentence, Khan appears to have illegally acquired or gained access to a smartphone in jail, and used it to continue sharing videos online.
Between September 18 and last week, Khan posted nine videos to the platform under the handle ‘afg203jfjijenh0’ addressing his social media followers from his prison cell.
In one video the Afghan is seen wearing a grey bandana as he made gun gestures with his fingers, shouting ‘pop, pop, pop’ shooting sounds while his smirking friend filmed.
He made similar gestures and remarks in the videos that first saw him jailed – in which he threatened to kill the Reform UK leader.
His account and video, which racked up tens of thousands of likes, were taken down on Saturday night after the Ministry of Justice intervened.

Reposting the video on X, Mr Farage said: ‘This is Mada Pasa, the man recently convicted of threatening to kill me.
‘How is he allowed to continue posting these videos from prison? Britain is broken.’
A second clip showed Khan again making a gun symbol with his fingers and talking about being from ‘f***ing Afghanistan’ before shouting: ‘Madapasa motherf***er, pop, pop, pop!’.
He then appeared to headbutt the camera before the video to came to an abrupt stop.
‘Madapasa’ was the original TikTok handle under which Khan posted TikTok videos, including the one in which he threatened to kill Mr Farage, before his arrest, trial and prison sentence.
Khan was reportedly searched on Saturday night but no phone was found – leading prison chiefs to suspect he may have sent the videos to a friend outside of prison who then post them on TikTok for him, according to The Telegraph.
The whereabouts of the phone used to film the videos from behind bars in unknown.
A Prison Service spokesman said: ‘It is outrageous this criminal has got a mobile phone into prison, and we have taken immediate action to pull these videos down and remove the profile.
‘Prisoners found to have a mobile phone or use social media could face extra time behind bars.’
Khan came to the attention of authorities in October 2024 after posting a video on TikTok in response to a YouTube video uploaded by Mr Farage entitled ‘the journey of an illegal migrant’.
The Reform leader had highlighted Khan’s attempts to come to the UK by small boat.
Jurors were shown the video in which Khan pointed to the AK–47 tattoo on his cheek and made gun gestures.

He said in the video: ‘Englishman Nigel, don’t talk s*** about me. You not know me. I come to England because I want to marry with your sister. You not know me.
‘Don’t talk about me more. Delete the video. I’m coming to England. I’m going to pop, pop, pop.’
Khan initially apologised to Mr Farage during his sentencing hearing last month, before launching an extraordinary expletive–laden rant at the politician and the justice system as he was taken down to the cells.
He shouted: ‘You (Mr Farage) use me so that you can be Prime Minister. I am going to go back to Afghanistan, I want to see my family. I want to go back to my country.
‘I am not here to kill you. The police are lying. You want to f*** my life, you want to put me in prison. Send me back to Afghanistan, I don’t want to stay here.’
The judge temporarily left court while Khan was taken down to the cells, accompanied by dock officers, and loud thudding noises as Khan continued to shout.
The length of the prison sentence means the Channel migrant’s wish to go home may come true as he now faces deportation by the Home Office.
Speaking to reporters outside Southwark Crown Court at the time, Mr Farage said: ‘He wants to be deported, he’d rather go back to Afghanistan. That’s what he wants to do and we should satisfy that as soon as we can.’
Mr Farage said he was concerned Khan would be ‘free to walk the streets’ upon serving 18 months of his sentence.
Home Office policy states foreign offenders sentenced to at least 12 months’ imprisonment for a criminal offence in the UK are automatically deported.
He was handed a further eight–month concurrent sentence after admitting one count of entering the country illegally, having previously made ten unsuccessful attempts to get to the UK, the court heard.
Khan has previous convictions for offences including knife possession, minor bodily harm, threatening behaviour towards a public servant and vandalism in Sweden, where he had lived since 2015, the court heard.
He arrived in England on a small boat in October last year, live–streaming his journey.
The court heard Mr Farage posted a video highlighting Khan’s story and the ‘young males of fighting age coming into our country about whom we know very little’ in October last year, after being drawn to Khan’s content.
This prompted Khan to record his own response video two days later in which he made the threats to the politician’s life.
Mr Farage said he was concerned Khan was going to try and shoot him and his family upon his illegal arrival in the UK.
Khan denied any malevolent intent, and said the ‘pop pop pop’ was his customary sign–off to his tens of thousands of TikTok fans, and not a threat to Mr Farage.
He already had an extant six–month jail sentence hanging over him by the time he fled to Britain, and gave a fake name to UK authorities upon arrival.
