The steamers and exploration parties of European companies pass far up the river courses and tap the markets behind the coast belt, buying for themselves produce which must otherwise have reached the coast through the medium of the native chiefs. That the chieftains of the coast should feel this to be a serious grievance is not remarkable...These were the causes which led to the rising and subjection of Jaja of Opoba...and to the late war against Nana of Benin...”

Nana, his wife and son, were placed in the Batanga for conveyance to Accra. It was reported at Old Calabar that for some time a number of natives from Benin had surreptitiously been gathering at the back of the river, and it was feared that Nana might with their aid escape...He was landed at Accra on November 2. He is to be kept at Christiansborg, on the Gold Coast, where he will have a house provided for his use and will be allowed full liberty to move about the town, reporting himself to the authorities once a week. Nana was in excellent health and conversed freely about the late war, for which he blamed certain traders.”
