  • c. 1845-1896 (Komalu, Luawa Chiefdom)
  • Father(?) was warrior Dowii Komei, to a family which owned much land around Kailahun.
  • During the 1880s, fought with Bumpe–Gao Chiefdom#Makavoray family, Ndawa, and the Benya family.
  • Took control over large areas traditionally belonging to the Kissi people and Gbandi people, expanding his and Ndawa's territory; he and Ndawa allied themselves after a dispute (what dispute) that Londo may have won
  • Was a friend of T. J. Alldridge, who described Londo as "a man of small statue but large intelligence... a chief who was never spoken of except in the highest terms." and described his name as a "password" in Mende lands due to "high opinion which [he is] convinced the masses generally entertain towards these chieftans." (pg 130, described along with Mendegla)
  • Created an ethnic Kissi state in the 1870s/1880s around Luawa. (pg xix) (a form of Mende state which Fyle charactized as based around a strong leader (Londo), and whose power could be directly tied to the individual in charge. (pg xxx)
  • Mende ruler Kabba Sei brokered a peace treaty between Londo and Mendegla
  • Allied with Kabba Sei in conflicts with Mbwalomeh, after Mbwalomeh conducted raids on Londo's lands and people. (pg 79-80)
  • Joined with Ndawa and won a dispute with the warrior Benya (from Blama) over Makavoray land. (pg 142-143) That campaign spurred on Londo's rise to prominence in the region, but Kai Londo believed that Ndawa had split the land and other winnings unevenly. The two fought (Kpove War???), with Ndawa theatening to attack Londo's base in Luawa. Londo won (??? how?), and the conflict ceased . (pg 143)
