In an age where identity claims often push the limits of reality, one group in Scotland took it to extremes by creating a so-called “African tribe” deep in the Borders woodlands.
Calling themselves the “Kingdom of Kubala,” the three-member outfit set up camp near Jedburgh and styled themselves as African royalty. That fantasy ended abruptly when local police and a sheriff arrived to dismantle the encampment, arresting its leaders and ordering them out.

The group is made up of a Ghanaian Singer, a Zimbabwean woman and an American woman.

According to The Telegraph, the self-appointed “King Atehene” — identified as 36-year-old Kofi Offeh of Ghana — was taken into custody for overstaying his visa. His 21-year-old American companion, Kaura Taylor, who referred to herself as “Asnat” and served as his so-called “handmaiden,” was also arrested.
Offeh’s wife, 43-year-old Zimbabwean Jean Gasho, who went by “Queen Nandi,” was given an hour to gather her belongings before leaving the site with a local acquaintance.

Once the trio were removed, crews from the Scottish Borders council arrived with two vehicles to clear the piles of rubbish left behind at the woodland “kingdom.”
What had been promoted by its members as a sovereign tribal enclave is now gone — exposed as little more than a makeshift campsite with grandiose titles and discarded trash.
