Answer:

Sunni Ali ( I think you spelled it wrong )

Step-by-step explanation:

The Songhai Empire came into power under Sunni Ali, a prince of the Songhai. The Mali Empire, who controlled the Songhai at the time, were holding Sunni Ali as a political prisoner. He escaped in 1464 to Gao and took over the city.
