30th October 2016,
They left Cameroon,arrived in France,then on to the UK,where they were put up in a hotel costing £38,400,plus room service £21,000 for the first four months,before being given a house.
A BENEFITS family who moaned about their four-bed home have been moved to a £425,000 dream house.
Arnold Sube, his wife and eight kids have cost taxpayers £238,000 in four years, plus his move to Milton Keynes, Bucks, caused outrage.

The family’s detached pad – in a leafy street dotted with Porsches and Mercedes – has a master bedroom with ensuite, and three further double bedrooms.
There is a dining room, a utility room off the kitchen and an integral garage, plus gardens and a driveway.
It should all be enough to keep any father happy, even one who brazenly claimed to The Sun his family was being “neglected” when their previous four-bedroom home felt too cramped.
Mr Sube and wife Jeanne are on benefits adding up to £44,000 a year and the family has cost taxpayers a total of £238,000 since arriving in Britain from France in 2012.
Yesterday several neighbours said they thought it “unfair” the family now did not have to pay a penny towards their £1,200 a month rent.
One woman said: “If you have eight kids you should not expect to be bailed out. The father has played the system and won.

“They are extremely fortunate. This is a lovely estate. Parents are desperate to move here.”
The Subes sparked outrage when they claimed their four-bed end-of-terraced benefit house was too small for them.

Another neighbour said: “This is a great place to live. We work hard and pay our bills and they get this for nothing.”
A third added: “Young people are living with their parents until their 30s because they have to save thousands for deposits for much smaller homes.”
The house is in Milton Keynes, Bucks — where the average cost of a family home is £264,393.
Tory councillor Michael Garrett said: “Mr Sube has had a result. He and his family have been moved on to one of the best estates.”
Tory MP David Morris said: “Families up and down Britain could never dream of affording a big house like this. Yet they are having their noses rubbed in that fact by being made to fork out for someone else to live like a king.”
