Overview

  • Kaura Taylor, identified by the group as Asnat or Lady Safi, appeared in a video from the camp stating she is not missing and asking authorities to leave her alone.
  • The three-person group, calling itself the Kingdom of Kubala, is led by King Atehene — previously opera singer Kofi Offeh — and Queen Nandi, with Taylor described as a handmaiden.
  • The group claims religious and ancestral rights to Scottish land, rejects local legal authority, and describes an off‑grid life of tents, stream bathing, and daily prayer.
  • Scottish Borders Council says it is working with Police Scotland, with eviction notices served to the camp and the group alleging a tent was set on fire.
  • Key details remain unclear, including when Taylor was reported missing in the U.S. and how she joined the group, leaving safeguarding and cross‑border case questions unresolved.
