Immigration officers led the trio away from the forest on Thursday, October 2, 2025, Daily Mail reported.
Offeh and Taylor were seen being led away by law enforcement early on Thursday morning.
African King turns down eviction notices
Offeh and Gasho, who called themselves King Atehene and Queen Nandi of the Kingdom of Kubala, have been living in the forest with the goal of “retaking” their land stolen from their ancestors 400 years ago.
The enforcement by the immigration officers comes after the trio were served two eviction notices from the land they have been occupying since May.
A fresh court order on October 1, 2025, banned the group from reoccupying the private land, which they had been warned to vacate.

Following a court ruling on Wednesday, the enforcement officers stormed their camp on Thursday morning and evicted the three members who had vowed to ignore legal notices.
The councillor of Jedburgh, Scott Hamilton, said the police, sheriff officers and other agencies went to the camp on Thursday morning.
He said:
“The site is currently being cleared by the council. There are still a few things at play with regard to the situation, but I think this morning has been a good result for the community and for them as well in terms of the outcome.”
Taylor’s family appeals for her return
Taylor, who served as a handmaiden to Offeh and Gasho, was once declared missing by her family in Texas before she was discovered among the ‘lost tribe’
She changed her name to Asnat and had insisted that she was not missing, adding that she was an adult.
Her family had appealed for her to return to the US and accused Offeh and Gasho of targeting her online

According to Gasho and the women, they live solely in the forest in a bid to reconnect to nature and innocence and to reclaim a land they claim was stolen.
The king had said:
“We live a very simple life of returning to innocence. We connect to nature. We connect to the trees around us. We get grounded every morning. We bathe in the springwater. We are living a simple life of relying daily on the creator for food, shelter and clothing. "
“We live in a tent without walls, but we are not afraid of anyone, for we have the protection of the creator, Yahowah.
“We follow the laws of the creator, everything belongs to the ones who made it. We do not believe that any authority owns the land.”
