He accused the Scottish authorities of being afraid of him, adding that the decision to detain and eventually deport him was based on their desire to belittle his reputation and position.

“They are afraid of the power of Kubala. They are afraid of the King of Kubala. They have brought me here thinking they can destroy what is firmly established by the gods.”

He, however, vowed to return to Scotland to reclaim what he believes is his rightful pride.

“I shall return to reclaim my rightful pride. I am the King of Scotland. Kubala, Kubala, Israel.”

King of Kubala's arrest and deportation

King Atehene’s deportation comes after he was arrested in Scotland over immigration offences.

He is reported to have arrived in Ghana on Tuesday, April 21, 2026.

Popular Ghanaian media outlet Kofi TV shared a photo showing the moment the self-proclaimed King of Kubala touched down in Ghana in high spirits.

Dressed to match his claim as a leader of some sort, King Atehene was wearing a crown made of leaves, standing with two men at the Accra International Airport.

King Atehene's royal claim

King Atehene occupied a forest in Jedburgh, Scotland, under the guise of reclaiming land that he claims was stolen from his ancestors 400 years ago.
