Fijabi, Baale of Ibadan, signed a treaty with acting Governor George C. Denton, establishing the Ibadan area as a British protectorate.
The treaty was signed on 15 August 1893. It established British protection over the Ibadan area, within the broader establishment of protectorates over Yorubaland between 1890 and 1897. As contextual background, Governor Carter's 1893 tour of Yorubaland involved signing treaties, dispersing armies, and opening the way for a railway from Lagos to Ibadan.
