A dramatic eviction unfolded in the Scottish Borders when sheriff officers removed three members of the self-styled African tribe calling themselves the 'Kingdom of Kubala' from privately owned woodland near Jedburgh.
The group, led by Ghanaian Kofi Offeh (who styles himself King Atehehe) and Zimbabwean-born Jean Gasho (Queen Nandi), had been living in the area for several weeks despite repeated legal orders to vacate.
On Tuesday morning, officers entered the camp while the trio were still asleep, dismantling tents and packing belongings before relocating them off the property.
However, within hours, the group simply moved a short distance away to set up a new camp on the other side of a wire fence, remaining defiantly close to the original site.
The tribe has amassed more than 100,000 followers on social media platforms, where they document their daily life and claim ancestral rights to the land, asserting that it was stolen from their forebears 400 years ago.
Scottish Borders Council, which previously evicted the group from a nearby hillside site in July, said they were breaking the law by trespassing and had refused multiple offers to leave voluntarily.
Local councillor Scott Hamilton expressed disappointment but stated that further enforcement action may be necessary.
The incident has drawn international attention, with supporters praising the group’s resolve while critics argue that private property rights must be upheld.
The situation remains tense, and further legal proceedings are expected if the group refuses to move.
