‘African Tribe’ Kingdom of Kubala Evicted from Scottish Borders Campsite

  • Last week, Sheriff Peter Paterson issued an order to evict the self-declared Kingdom of Kubala from privately owned woodland close to Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders.
  • The eviction followed repeated failure by the three members, who claim ancestral rights, to leave the land after an eviction notice gave them a September 8 deadline.
  • The group, led by Kofi Offeh, who styled himself as King Atehehe, and his wife Jean Gasho, known as Queen Nandi, along with their attendant Kaura Taylor, initially set up camp on a hillside before relocating about a mile away to a wooded area adjacent to an industrial estate.
  • Mr. Offeh expressed confidence, stating that a higher power watches over them and they do not fear any decisions the court has made, while Councillor Scott Hamilton criticized the group for violating the law and refusing to cooperate with authorities.
  • Police and sheriff officers arrived at 8am on a Tuesday to remove the group without arrests, signaling enforcement of the eviction and the local council's intent to uphold property laws.
