Imagbon War

The definitive Imagbon War, also referred to as the Anglo-ljebu War, occurred in 1892 in the town, between Ijebu forces and the Imperial British military. The military were supported by a protectorate treaty imposed on Lagos, which enabled them to raise funds and recruit troops equipped with imported guns. A war memorial exists to commemorate the conflict.[https://oldnaija.wordpress.com/2015/11/04/the-british-ijebu-war-of-1892-the-battle-of-imagbon/ The British-Ijebu war of 1892 (The battle of Imagbon)]
