went further to found Oǹdó. Ọlọ́fin went further and settled at Ọta-Ìpẹ̀tẹ́ near Ilẹ̀-Olújìí. According to traditional historians, the Ilẹ̀-Olújìí people were Ọlọ́fin’s gate-keeper or “Ẹ̀kù” meaning “Door”. They are known by this name till today. Between the present Ile Oluji and the present Ipetu, the Ẹ̀kùs were aggrieved against Àsùrìndó the father of Ọlábídànrè. Ọlábídànrè had allegedly sacrificed three Ẹ̀kùs to a god. As a result of this, the Ẹ̀kùs decided to kill Ọlábídànrè as revenge. One day, they found Ọlábídànrè in a house alone without his father Àsùrìndó. They surrounded the house and set it on fire. They were certain that the end of Ọlábídànrè had come, he would either be burnt with the house or he would try to escape and fall into their hands. His father Àsùrìndó was alerted of his son’s danger. He quickly sent Egúnrin and Ọdunwò-Ògbólú to go and rescue his son. This was a very difficult task that was physically impossible so the two men resulted to use supernatural means and utilized a device(traditional incantation) called ÀPÈTU meaning the incantations that forcefully ejects a person out of danger. As they chanted the incantations, Ọlábídànrè was ejected from the house without the Ẹ̀kùs seeing him and landed at the place where his father was. From that day, he was referred to as Àpètu, meaning the one that was called and ejected out of danger with incantations. In no time this became his family alias so much that all his children were called by the name. As a consequence of this incident, the life of Ọlábídànrè was no longer safe among the Ẹ̀kùs. For this reason, Ọlọ́fin had to give him a number of people and instructed him to go and settle somewhere else between Ọta-Ìpẹ̀tẹ and a place where there were three Akòko trees near River Ọ̀ni. Ọlọ́fin was somehow conscious of the settlement of Ẹ́rìn people on the other side of River Ọ̀ni. After Ọlábídànrè now sìmply known as Àpètu left Ọta-Ìpẹ̀tẹ, Gbógun, one of the members of the team founded Ọ̀rọ́ta which is today known as Ìdànrè. Ọ̀dúnwo-Ògbólú went to found Ẹ̀fọ̀n-Aláayè while Ọba-Àdó went further to found Benin. Other children of Ọlọ́fin stayed with Gbógun without founding new settlements. Apetu and his people first settled at Ìpotì after leaving Ọta-Ìpẹ̀tẹ. He gave various titles to his followers for the purposes of effective administration. These title were carbon copies of those
