Kofi Offeh, who called himself a 'King' and promised a 'new wave of the Kingdom of Kubala' in a video, was deported to Ghana, according to the Home Office. The self-styled kingdom was described as a 'lost African tribe' by local media. Offeh, 36, had branded himself the leader of the group, according to reports.
The group consisted of Offeh; his wife Jean Gasho, 43, who called herself 'Queen Nandi'; and Kaura 'Asnat' Taylor, 21, from Dallas, Texas, who called herself an 'inferior mistress' and 'surrogate for the queen', according to the group's own statements. Ms Taylor was released after being arrested by immigration enforcement in October, authorities said.
All the police are going to serve me, all the chiefs are going to bow before me, if you have a president, he will have to kneel before me
The trio originally set up camp near Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders, claiming to be ancient inheritors of the land and descendants of 'Black Jacobites' promised the land 400 years ago, according to the Kingdom of Kubala. They refused to leave for around four months. They were first removed from a privately-owned camp in July by Scottish Borders Council. After being removed, they relocated to a patch of woodland next to an industrial estate. After being ousted from that second camp, they moved onto property belonging to Scottish Borders Council, which pursued legal action to remove them, the council stated.
The final eviction was carried out in a joint early-morning raid by police, sheriff officers, and immigration enforcement, according to officials. All three were seen being led away from the area. Council workers later tossed bags filled with blankets, clothing, and food supplies into a bin lorry, witnesses reported. Ms Gasho left the scene separately in a pickup vehicle. In a social media video, Offeh had declared: 'All the police are going to serve me, all the chiefs are going to bow before me, if you have a president, he will have to kneel before me.'
