@agunbe.home.and.a: #VoiceEffects *HISTORY OF IKIRUN* _When Ikirun was under seige by Ilorin, Ekiti, Ijesha, and Ila-Orangun forces_ _the people of Ikirun sent an urgent message to Ibadan_ _Ibadan responded swiftly and sent Balogun Ajayi Ogboriefon to assist_ _The story also says that Timi Abibu Lagunju, the king of Ede at that time_ _also joined forces with Ibadan and sent his warriors to support Ikirun_ _Their military base was set up at Oke-Timi_ _The local warriors in Ikirun joined in as well to defend their town_ _Together with the Ibadan forces_ _they stood firm and fought valiantly_ _until they defeated the allied armies of Ilorin, Ekiti, Ila, and Ijesha, who then fled the battlefield_ _The Ilorin army began retreating toward their town, but when the people of Offa saw them fleeing_ _they destroyed the bridge at Inisa — known as Odo Otin_ _This was during the rainy season when the river was full_ _While unable to cross the bridge, the Ibadan and Ikirun warriors ambushed them and struck hard_ _this is the famous Battle of Jalumi, named because many enemies drowned while trying to escape across the river._ ---#ikirun #Ede #osunosogbo #Ikirunagunbehomeabroad
