Accompanying Oba Ovonramwen after his capture by the British
Asoro, also known as General Asoro was a war chief in the Kingdom of Benin who served as the sword bearer to Oba Ovonramwen (the Oba of Benin) during the 1897 British expedition to Benin.[2] He participated in the defense of Benin against the British expeditionary force that aimed to capture the Oba. Asoro's statement "no other person [should] pass this road except the Oba" (So kpon Oba) resulted in the naming of a road in Benin as "Sakponba".[2]
