Badagry Slave Market

The events of the trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Specifically, it is the story of SerikiFaremi William Abass and the Brazilian Baracoon of 40 Slaves
that he left behind. Out of four of such Baracoons located at Posukoh, Ahovikoh, Awhajigor and Jegba quarters all in Badagry, it is only SerikiAbass’ that still stands today. Although this edifice has since been assumed by the Lagos State government and conferred the status of a museum by the Nigerian National Commission for Museum and Monument, it remains the most concrete
evidence of Seriki Abass and of the trans-Atlantic Slave Trade in the West coast of Nigeria, especially in Badagry, with which he was identified.
