What's Happening?
Kofi Offeh, a Ghanaian man claiming to be the king of an 'African tribe' in Scotland, has been arrested by immigration enforcement officers. Offeh, along with his queen Jean Gasho and handmaiden Kaura Taylor, had set up a makeshift camp near Jedburgh, claiming to reclaim ancestral land. The arrest followed multiple eviction notices and a court order banning them from reoccupying the land. Offeh is likely to be deported to Ghana due to visa overstay. The incident has drawn attention due to the group's unusual claims and actions.
