Early September 2025, Sheriff Officers, assisted by the police, evicted the group from private woodlands near Jedburgh, Scotland. But within hours, members of the Kingdom, led by Ghanaian Kofi Offei, re-established their camp on adjacent council-owned woodland by simply crossing a wire fence. The Kingdom of Kubala is an “African-styled tribe” made up of three members led by Kofi Offeh, 36, a former opera singer of Ghanaian origin, who now calls himself King Atahene. They believe they are ancestors of Black Jacobites, African Highlanders who they claim lived in Scotland over 400 years ago. For now, the Kingdom of Kubala remains camped on the council-owned woodland insisting that they are not ruled by governments but by their God, Yahowah.
