Daaga Part 2

Daaga’s war chant was: Dangkarree au fey (Come to plunder, come to slay). While the crowd responded: Oluu werrei au lay (We are ready to obey). Daaga was charged and sentenced to death on August 14th. He was excuted on August 16, 1837. It's reported that Daaga was a slave dealer. After he sold a group of Yoruba captives to the Portuguese, the ship’s crew lured him aboard under the pretence of paying him but placed him in irons instead. The ship was liberated by the British Navy and brought to Trinidad. He later enlisted in the British West Indian Regiment. Photo of regiment.
