I’m so happy, it’s a dream come true
ABDUL Wakil last night said he was the ‘richest person in the world’ after learning his family can join him in Britain.
The 33- year- old Afghan interpreter came to the UK in December 015 with eldest son Shakeel, 13. His wife was denied entry because she did not come over at the same time.
But rule changes that follow a Daily Mail campaign mean she can now come to live with him in Manchester, bringing their younger sons, Mustafa, six and Muzzammel, two. Mr Wakil, pictured, said: ‘The Daily Mail has done such a fantastic job and made our lives. It is a great, huge effort.
‘ We would have been waiting a lifetime for this to happen without this change.
‘I’m so happy. I’m the richest person in the world and I can’t explain how happy Shakeel is. It is my dream come true.’
