A ‘tribe’ that set up camp in a Scottish wood have been served an eviction notice.

Since May, Kofi Offeh, 36, from Ghana and Jean Gasho, 42, from Zimbabwe, have been camping in the woodlands in Jedburgh, Roxburghshire, along with their 21-year-old American ‘handmaiden’ Kaura Taylor.

They claim to be part of a lost African dynasty and are here to reclaim their land.

Now, Gasho, who calls herself Queen Nandi, has revealed that officials have demanded the trio to leave the land by 5pm on Monday or face court action.

The group, who claimed the land as part of their northern Kingdom of Kubala, have divided opinion among local residents.
