Naimbanna II (c. 1720 – 11 November 1793) was Obai (King) of the Temne people of Sierra Leone.
[1]: 198 In 1786, the British government agreed to help the Committee for the Relief of the Black Poor in relocating freed Africans to West Africa, and intended to purchase land from the Temne people.
An agreement was made without Naimbanna's knowledge with one of his local chiefs, Tombo, called King Tom by the British, to permanently cede an area land, which was then called the Province of Freedom.
Tombo could not read or write, so was likely unaware of the implications.
[1]: 198 In 1791 he sent his eldest son, John Frederick Naimbanna, to England where he came under the tutelage of Henry Thornton.
