Concept:Some African rulers who resisted colonial conquest were removed from power and exiled to distant places by the colonial authorities.
Explanation:Oba Ovoranwen, also called Overami, was the Oba of the Benin Kingdom.
He resisted British colonial penetration and the loss of Benin’s independence.
In 1897, the British launched a punitive expedition against Benin.
The Oba was captured, deposed from his throne, and sent into exile.
His place of deportation was Calabar, in present-day Cross River State, Nigeria.
He remained in Calabar until his death.
King Jaja of Opobo, though also a resistor, was exiled to the West Indies, not Calabar.
King Kosoko and King Dosunmu were Lagos rulers involved in treaty negotiations and were not the ones deported to Calabar.
Therefore, the ruler described in the question is Oba Ovoranwen.
Answer:B. Oba Ovoranwen
