Person
Obi Ossai
Obi Ossai was the ruler (obi) of Aboh, a trading kingdom on the lower Niger, in the early 19th century. He received the explorers Richard and John Lander in 1830 and negotiated with the British Niger Expedition of 1841, signing a treaty against the slave trade. Aboh profited as a middleman between the interior and coastal states such as Bonny.
