Afonja of Ilorin was the "Are-Ona-Kakanfo", or chief military leader, of the Oyo Empire. Laderin, the great-grandfather of Afonja, was the founder of Ilorin city.[1][2] He was succeeded by his son, Pasin, a powerful warrior who became a threat and target to, Basorun Gaha, because of his rising profile.[1] He was driven into exile and killed. Alagbin, his son was made King.[1] After the death of Alagbin, his son, Afonja, took over.[1] These were the only four Yoruba kings in Ilorin.[1]
