Imagbon War

It is the site of the definitive Imagbon War, also referred to as the Anglo-ljebu War,[3] that occurred in 1892 between Yoruba forces and the Imperial British military.[4][5][6] The military were assisted by protectorate treaty imposed on Lagos that enabled them to raise funds and troops supported by imported guns. A war memorial exists that commemorates the Imagbon War.[3][7]
