Remo land is made up of some towns that included Makun, Offin, Ikenne and about thirty (30) other neighboring towns to Ijebu Kingdom in Nigeria. The capital is Sagamu which was settled in 1872 when thirteen towns congregated together for greater security.[1]
Remo land was initially settled roughly around the second half of the 15th century and they claimed their ancestry from Iremo in
vassal kingdom to the Ijebu Kingdom but the Akarigbos
had been distinct from the King of Ijebu kingdom from time immemorial
