A group of individuals, led by a Ghanaian man named Kofi Offeh, has found themselves in a predicament in Scotland. They had set up their own community, called the "Kingdom of Kubala," but now face deportation due to their actions. According to reports from Business Insider Africa, the Scottish Borders Council is pursuing a second eviction against Offeh, also known as "King Atehehe," and his followers.
Offeh, along with his partner Jean Gasho from Zimbabwe, who goes by the name "Queen Nandi," and their American follower Kaura Taylor, who is referred to as their "handmaiden Asnat," had initially set up their community in a private woodland in Jedburgh. However, they were recently evicted from that location and have since moved to land owned by the Scottish Borders Council, which has prompted new legal action against them.
Offeh, a former opera singer, claims that the Kingdom of Kubala is a spiritual reclamation of Scottish land that was taken from African ancestors 400 years ago. Their group has gained a large following on social media, with over 100,000 followers on TikTok and Facebook. Despite facing repeated evictions, the group remains steadfast in their belief that their mission is indestructible.
In a statement on their Facebook page, the group wrote, "The Kingdom of Kubala can never be destroyed." However, this sentiment is not shared by the Scottish Borders Council. Deputy Council Leader Scott Hamilton has stated that while they are willing to offer help and support to the group, they will not allow them to break the law. He emphasized that nobody is above the law, and the council will not back down in their efforts to remove the group from the land.
The group's activities have sparked concern among the local community, and authorities have offered them housing and support services. There have also been reports that Taylor, one of the group's members, was previously listed as missing in the state of Texas. Despite facing a second eviction, the group has refused to leave their campsite and can still be seen there, singing and showing no signs of giving up.
The council is now expected to seek an order from a sheriff to remove the trio from the privately owned land. In a statement, they said, "The legal process to remove the occupants from the council's land has commenced, and officers will proceed through the next steps as quickly as possible." This situation serves as a reminder that no one is above the law, and even those with strong convictions must still abide by it.
