In 1897, the British '[[Punitive Expedition]]' (see [[Benin Expedition of 1897]]) sacked Benin City and exiled Oba [[Ovonramwen]], taking control of the area in order to establish the [[British colony]] of Nigeria. The expedition was mounted to avenge the killing of an official British delegation in 1896. The expedition consisted of indigenous soldiers and British officers. To cover the cost of the expedition, the Benin royal art was auctioned off by the British. The Oba was captured and eventually allowed to live in exile until his death in 1914.
