an African Wesleyan minister, was born in the Egba country, and was taken captive in a slave-hunting expedition; was sold to the Portuguese, retaken by a British cruiser, and brought to Sierra Leone, where he was converted and became a member of the Methodist Church. He was afterwards employed as a schoolmaster, and in 1854 was elevated to the ministry and became a powerful and eloquent preacher in his native tongue. Many pagans were won to Christ by his labors. He died at Abbeokuta, April 4, 1864. See Minutes of the British Conf., 1864, p. 29.
