Overview

• Sheriff Peter Paterson at Jedburgh Sheriff Court granted a warrant that takes effect immediately to clear the camp near Jedburgh.
• The group consists of leader Kofi Offeh, who calls himself King Atehene, his wife Jean Gasho, known as Queen Nandi, and Kaura Taylor, who calls herself Asnat.
• None of the three attended court or had legal representation, and video posted earlier showed them being served papers at the site.
• The landowner sought the order after a notice to leave by 5pm on 8 September was ignored, with council officials supporting next steps and urging the public not to engage.
• Offeh rejected the court’s authority in remarks to reporters, while separate reports highlight family welfare concerns for Taylor, who was previously reported missing from Texas.
