History


The Jalumi War of 1 November 1878 took place in the hilly country of the northeast of Osun State in the area that includes Ikirun, Iba, Inisa, Okuku and Eko-Ende. It was one of the series of civil wars in Yorubaland between 1793 and 1893.
The town is mentioned in a report of 1911 of a visit by the resident Captain Cyril Hammond Elgee and the Ibadan chiefs to hear a boundary dispute between Iba and nearby Okuku. The dispute was unresolved until the late 1930s.
The ruling house of Iba claims that they came from Ife long before the people of Ikuku came to the region.
In 2011, a dispute over which ruling house should become the next traditional ruler, or Eburu of Iba, became a subject of litigation after the demise of Oba Ibrahim Bamigbade. Olugbuyi ruling house claimed that the title should alternate between the Olugbuyi and Okiti ruling houses, and that the Ijadunoye and Alamu were families in the Okiti ruling house. Alamu and Ijadunoye ruling houses claimed that the Ijadunoye and Alamu were separate ruling houses and there had never been any Okiti ruling house in Iba history, and the stool should rotate to them too. in 2014, Justice Afolabi of High Court of Osogbo ruled in favor of Alamu Ruling House and ordered the installation of Prof. Adekunle Okunoye of Alamu Ruling House having been duly nominated by his ruling house and unanimously approved by the kingmakers.
