A young Texas woman who ran away from home after allegedly being abused has been found living in one of the most unexpected of places.
Three months ago, 21-year-old Kaura Taylor disappeared with her one-year-old daughter on May 25 and entered the United Kingdom on a six-month tourist visa. Now, it has been revealed that she went to live with a ‘lost African tribe’ in the so-called Kingdom of Kubala in the Scottish woodlands.
The Daily Mail reports that Taylor lives with the tribe’s leader, King Atehene, and his wife, Queen Nand. She has adopted the name Asnat, Lady Safi, of Atehene and serves as Atehene’s handmaiden and second wife.
King Atehene is a former PR agent and opera singer from Ghana, who used to be known as Kofi Offeh. Nandi used to go by the name Jean Gasho.
Photos and videos obtained by the Mail show the three dressed in robes and performing rituals. For example, the three are seen dancing at a campfire and worshiping Offeh.
The Daily Mail also reveals that the three live with Taylor’s daughter in a forest in Jedburgh, Scotland. They claim to be trying to restore a so-called Hebrew tribe.
Yes, an innocent child is mixed up in insane cult madness.
Taylor claimed in a Facebook post on August 20 that she ran away to escape an abusive household.
“Yes, I’m very happy with my King and Queen, I was never missing, I fled a very abusive, toxic family who abused me sexually since I was a child! So you don’t go ‘missing’ to your abusers,” Taylor wrote.
Two of Taylor’s relatives disputed this during an interview with The Independent.
“It is very stressful and difficult. It breaks our hearts. We’re overly concerned about Kaura, but she doesn’t think anyone is concerned about her,” Taylor’s aunt Teri Allen told The Independent.
She also pushed back on allegations of Taylor being abused, saying her childhood was “very sheltered and protected.”
Taylor’s other aunt, Vandora Skinner, also spoke out.
“She went missing in May,” Skinner said. “But she wasn’t missing at all; she left to go live with these people.”
Skinner added that Taylor, who lived at her home as a teenager, was a “very, very unruly” teen and “very disrespectful,” but she was given plenty of leeway at home.
“She lived in a four-bedroom house, with her own room, and maybe I shouldn’t have been as light on her as I was,” Skinner stated. “I allowed her boyfriends to come over, but maybe I shouldn’t have. But I did get her to graduate high school.”
Her relatives discovered Taylor’s secret life after she disappeared and left them a cryptic message that said she and her daughter “had to get out and explore a little bit.”
They hope Taylor returns when her visa expires.
