A Ghanaian man who declared himself the “King of Kubala” has been deported from Scotland after he and his polygamous family refused to recognise court orders and vacate a forest near the town of Jedburgh. Kofi Offeh was arrested on suspicion of immigration offences alongside his two partners, a Zimbabwean woman named Jean Gasho (43) and an American woman, Kaura Taylor. All three had been living in a makeshift camp deep in the woodlands of the Scottish Borders. Offeh, however, was the first to be removed from the United Kingdom. Earlier this week, local media footage showed him arriving at Kotoka International Airport in Accra, Ghana, following his deportation. The trio had occupied the remote forest site for an undisclosed period, insisting they were not squatters but rightful heirs to the land. Offeh claimed the territory had been taken from his ancestors roughly 400 years ago, and that his presence in Scotland was an act of reclamation. He reportedly styled himself as the “King of Kubala” — a title whose historical or geographical origins remain unclear — and framed the occupation as a restoration of justice rather than a legal violation. When local authorities and court officials ordered the group to leave the land, Offeh and his partners refused. Reports indicate they declined to recognise the jurisdiction of Scottish courts, arguing that their ancestral claim superseded modern property law. The standoff eventually led to police involvement. All three adults were arrested on suspicion of immigration offences, though specific details of the charges — such as visa violations or illegal entry — have not been fully disclosed. With Offeh now back in Ghana, the status of Jean Gasho and Kaura Taylor remains unclear. It is not known whether they face similar deportation proceedings or whether they have lodged any appeals to remain in Scotland. Local residents near Jedburgh have described the situation as “bizarre,” while legal experts note that claims of ancestral ownership from centuries ago are rarely, if ever, recognised by modern Scottish property law. Offeh has not made a public statement since his arrival in Accra. It is unknown whether he plans to return to Scotland or continue his “Kubala” campaign from Ghana
