Hunkanrin was imprisoned ten years in Mauritania without evidence linking him to the revolt.

Evidence

Hunkanrin, unlike Diagne, did not have powerful friends in Paris. The tax revolts in Dahomey provided the Government General with a convenient pretext for removing this unwanted voice from his colony of origin. In 1923, despite a lack of any direct evidence that Hunkanrin had been involved, the interim governor general banished him to ten years’ imprisonment in Mauritania. — Alice L.
