Ghanaian 'King' Deported After Scottish Tribe Standoff

0:00On April 23rd, a Ghanaian man named Kofi Ofe, who called himself King Atahene, just got deported from the UK after leading a self-made African tribe. In the Scottish borders, he set up the so-called Kingdom of Kubala in a wooded spot near Jedberg with two women last year, and the Home Office confirmed his removal this week. They pitched tents on Council Land and refused to leave, claiming it was ancestral territory stolen 400 years ago. People authorities tried evicting them multiple times, starting from a hillside in July, then another side in September. But the group kept shifting, just a few meters away. The trio drew huge online buzz, racking up over 100,000 followers on TikTok and Facebook, plus global media coverage.

In the end, sheriff officers, police, and immigration teams raided their camp last October, live streamed on TikTok.
