Remo is the traditional kingdom of the Remo, a Yoruba people of Ogun State, whose paramount ruler is the Akarigbo of Remoland. According to Wikipedia, it comprises 33 towns; its capital, Sagamu, was formed in 1872, when 13 towns came together for security, and the Akarigbo's palace is at Offin. The line of Akarigbos dates from a prince of that name in the early 16th century, in the time of the Ijebu Kingdom's founding. Oba Babatunde Adewale Ajayi, Torungbuwa II, became the 19th Akarigbo on 7 December 2017 (Wikipedia), and chaired the Ogun State Council of Traditional Rulers until June 2024 (The Gazette).
