A small group claiming to be a lost African tribe has settled in the woods of Scotland.
The group known as the Kingdom of Kubala surprised the residents. \it consists of three members: King Atehene, Queen Nandi, and a young lady from Texas named Kaura Taylor, now known as Asnat. Believing their roots come from both African and Scottish history, they claim to be descendants of native black Jacobites who lived in Scotland over four centuries ago.
According to their beliefs, their ancestors were deported by Queen Elizabeth I. They were then forced into exile across the Americas and Africa. According to the tribe, they are returning to claim the land that was taken from their ancestors. King Atehene, who used to be an opera singer, and Queen Nandi live a simple life connected with nature. They bathe in spring water, live in tents, and rely on the land for sustenance. They follow the laws of their God, Yahowah, and do not recognize local government laws or eviction notices.
Kaura Taylor, who has a young child, joined the group with her child after escaping an abusive family situation in Texas. She has expressed happiness with her new life and has asked authorities to leave her alone.
However, Kaura’s mum, Melba Whitehead, has claimed her daughter, who was an aspiring lawyer, was “|groomed” online when she was nineteen before being bought a one-way ticket to the UK.
She claimed her family saw an online image of her living as a “handmaiden” in the so-called Kingdom in Jedburgh, Scotland.
The group dressed head to toe in traditional African attire is run by Kofi Offeh-who refers to himself as “The King” – and his partner Jean Gasho, who goes by “The Queen”. Both lived in the UK before camping in Scotland.
They’ve been served eviction notices, but they are yet to abide.
