Appliquéd Battalion Flag Asafo: Safohen "Sanu Abutar Oye"

This flag was probably commissioned by a newly appointed Safohen (captain) for the company No. 2. His name is “Sanu Abutar”, “Oye” which approximates to “is good”. It is not uncommon for a Safohen, who will commission a new flag as part of his inauguration, to immortalise himself on it as well. Author: Doris Kubisch
