The self-styled African king thrown out of Scotland has a wild new plan and Ghana should worry

After months of controversy in rural Scotland, a man who crowned himself a king is back in the spotlight—this time in West Africa. His removal from the UK may have ended one chapter, but it appears to have sparked another, even more ambitious one. What began as a bizarre encampment in the Scottish Borders has now turned into bold claims of power in Ghana.

What happened in Scotland?

Kofi Offeh, 36, had spent months living in a makeshift camp near Jedburgh in Roxburghshire. He was not alone. Alongside Jean Gasho, 42, from Zimbabwe, and Kaura Taylor from Texas—who went by Asnat—the group created what they described as a “lost Kingdom.”


They referred to themselves as King Atehene and Queen Nandi of the Kingdom of Kubala. Their presence drew attention from across the world, with influencers and online investigators descending on the small Scottish town, as per a report by The Daily Mail.

The situation reached a turning point last October when police and immigration officials arrived following a court ruling. The group even live-streamed the moment authorities moved in, capturing Offeh being led away in handcuffs.

Why was he deported from the UK?

The UK Home Office later confirmed his removal from the country. A spokesperson stated: “We can confirm that Kofi Offeh has been deported from the UK.”

Local officials in Scotland expressed relief at his departure. Tory councillor Scott Hamilton told BBC Scotland News that the situation had been difficult for the community.

“When we reflect on what actually happened last year in Jedburgh, I don’t think we can ever make sense of it,” he said. "They were a group who were filled with so much hatred, they caused so much aggravation in the community, thank goodness we have finally got rid of them."

What is he claiming in Ghana now?

After arriving in Ghana, Offeh quickly returned to making bold declarations. According to reports from Kofi TV, he landed at Accra International Airport wearing a crown made of leaves and appeared in high spirits.

In an interview, he laid out his intentions clearly. "I have come to take over Ghana because I am the King of Kubala. Everywhere I land, I take dominion, where I establish my throne, so the time has come. Everyone will bow before me, whether chiefs, politicians or even the police are going to serve me."

He repeated the claim, insisting, "Everyone will bow before me, whether chiefs, politicians or even the police are going to serve me."

Offeh has reportedly set his sights on Sunyani, which he described as the “Sun City,” saying it is where “the sunshine starts in Ghana.”

How did his ‘kingdom’ begin?

Back in Scotland, Offeh and his followers claimed they were reclaiming land taken from their ancestors centuries ago. They survived largely on public donations while maintaining their presence in the woods.

The unusual situation quickly turned into a spectacle, drawing global attention and leaving locals unsettled. Though the camp has now been dismantled and Offeh deported, his statements suggest his ambitions have not diminished, as per a report by The Daily Mail.

His return to Ghana may have closed one chapter, but his claims of building a new kingdom have opened another—one that is already raising eyebrows and questions about what comes next.
