Some of the Osun towns like Osogbo had willingly come under Ibadan protection. More force was used in the subjugation of the towns further to the east. The Ijesha proved difficult to control.

Each of the towns was the responsibility of a “babakekere” in Ibadan, who administered through an Ajele in the town it...
