Okonkwo committed these crimes that caused his exile:

1. he killed a man from his own tribe

2. he fought with his host

3 he did not apologize before running.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okonkwo is the titular character of the novel Things fall apart which deals with his life in a soon to be colonized Nigerian tribal village.

In the tribe that he lives, killing a person of the clan by will or without will is a sin that cannot go unpunished in their law.

He knows the rule however and quickly flees his town before anything would come up.
