Ghanaian tribe in Scotland 'reclaiming land'
King Atehene caught the public's attention when the BBC reported that he and one other person, an American woman, had been arrested for occupying a forest in Jedburgh.
Sky News reported that they were first served with an eviction notice in August 2025 because they were on private land.
They then moved to a neighbouring plot of land owned by the Scottish Borders Council.
The group was made up of Kofi Offeh, 36, who calls himself King Atehene, his wife Jean Gasho, 43, who calls herself Queen Nandi, and 'handmaiden' Kaura Taylor, 21, who goes by the name of Asnat.
The self-styled king and the members of his self-proclaimed kingdom have said they are reclaiming land that was stolen from their ancestors 400 years ago.
They have a large online presence, with more than 100,000 followers on TikTok and Facebook, and have received worldwide media attention.

The Jedburgh and district councillor, Scott Hamilton, said at the time that he was happy with the eviction of what he described as a tribe.
"It has been a long effort by the local council, police and other services to achieve this outcome."
Following the eviction, it emerged that Offeh had overstayed in the United Kingdom and thus faced deportation.
