Ero Dam And Its Past Glory.

Ero dam is located at Ikun Amure one of the most hospitable town in Ekiti State. You can hardly recite the oriki of the place without mentioning the beauty of the river that gave birth to the dam. The dam supplies portable water to many communities in Ekiti state.

The hope of those who constructed the dam might have been dashed. The place is now a far cry from what the founders had in mind for putting the dam there We were told that the place was to be a smart settlement with a stadium or rather, a football pitch as part of its features. It was meant to be fully residential. If the place was growing at the rate it was when we were at home, a polling booth or two would have been given to them by now thereby expanding it's electoral values. These are the dreams that have not come to reality.

As things stand today, it appears a lot has really gone missing in the dam. Life seems to have been taken away from it. The bloom of modernization of those days has gone away. The place is now almost deserted.

Othe than the effort of the government, what can we do as a people to bring back the lost glory and realise the dream of those sited the dam?

Orúkọ Àwọn Akọni tó bá Ogun Èkìtì Parapọ̀ lọ

1. Aare Momodu Obadoke Látóòṣà (Aare Latoosa) — Aare Ona Kakanfo, leader of Ibadan forces

Death: 1885 (died at his camp during the Kiriji campaign; Samuel Johnson reports he “took poison”).

Note: His death removed Ibadan’s principal field commander and was a turning point toward peace.

Source: Kiriji War summary; Aare Latoosa biography; Samuel Johnson narrative.

2. Balógun Ajayi (Ajayi Ogboriefon / Ajayi Jegede Ogboriefon) — Balógun and leader of the Ibadan army during Jalumi (Ikirun) operations

Death: 7 April 1879 (reported to have died of illness soon after the Jalumi/Ikirun fighting).

Note: His death is reported as a significant event in 1879 and affected Ibadan’s field command structure.

Source: Kiriji / Jalumi accounts; local historical summaries.

3. Prince Adeyale (of Ila) — Military leader on the Ila / Igbomina side at Jalumi

Death: Killed during the Jalumi / Ikirun fighting (1878).

Note: Several accounts of the Jalumi battle record Prince Adeyale’s death in that fighting; Ila-Orangun local histories also record his loss and the town’s suffering afterward.

Source: Jalumi (Ikirun) battle article; Ila-Orangun historical notes.

4. Afomodi — Balógun of Ijero (named in contemporary narratives of the Jalumi theatre)

Death: Captured at Ikirun and later died (captured and taken to Ibadan where he later died, per campaign narratives).

Note: Records say he was captured in the Jalumi operations and subsequently died in Ibadan custody. Exact date uncertain.

Source: Jalumi / Kiriji narrative summaries.

5. Albert (Alfred) Labinjo / Labinjo — leader associated with the Confederate Rifle Corps (Imesi-Ile / Ekiti-Parapo side)

Death: Wounded 13 July 1885 and died about five days later (1885).

Note: Labinjo is described in multiple summaries as an important rifle-corps leader; his wounding/death occurred in the final intense months of the war before Latoosa’s death. (Name sometimes given as Albert or Alfred Labinjo.)

Source: Kiriji War article / folk histories citing Imesi-ile collections.

6. Alli Laluwoye (Otun Balogun) — senior Ibadan chief/Balogun in Latoosa’s time

Death: Reported to have died at Kiriji in 1882 (local biographical rounds claim Alli Laluwoye died in the war period).

Note: This is drawn from local lists of chiefs who “ruled with Latoosa”; sources are local historical writeups rather than single primary archival citations.

Source: Yorubafacts / local compendia of Latoosa’s chiefs.
