A sheriff has ordered the eviction of three members of the self-proclaimed “Kingdom of Kubala,” who have been camping in woodland near Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders, claiming ancestral rights to land they say was taken from their ancestors 400 years ago.

Sheriff Peter Paterson issued the immediate order after the group ignored a Monday deadline to leave, with landowners David and Mary Palmer successfully seeking legal action.

The trio—Kofi Offeh and Jean Gasho, who style themselves as King Atehehe and Queen Nandi, and their “handmaiden” Kaura Taylor—had previously been evicted from a hillside in July but relocated nearby.

Local councillor Scott Hamilton said the group’s refusal to comply left the landowners with no choice, while the group maintains they will not be moved without divine direction.
