Ozolua

Ozolua

Ozolua (died 1504), originally called Okpame, was an Oba of the Kingdom of Benin.

During Ozolua's reign, Benin's armies successfully attacked the Kingdom of Owo. While historical accounts of the battle differ, the end result left Owo with its independence while still requiring that it pay tribute to Benin[1].
