Naimbana was king of Koya, a Temne state on the Sierra Leone estuary, in the late 18th century. In 1788 he confirmed the grant of land on the peninsula made by his subordinate King Tom to British abolitionists for the Province of Freedom, the origin of Freetown. He sent his son John Frederic to England to be educated; the young man died on the voyage home in 1793.
