Irrua

[2] Irrua was established by decree 92 of 1993 (Appendix I) to provide tertiary services to people of Edo State and beyond.

Before this time, there were primitive settlements of Akho and the quarter today marked by Idunekhakpozi.

The proud assertive immigrants from Benin settled in Eguare, close to the people they found.

The domineering attitude of these strangers coupled with the inherent desire to please the newcomers on the part of the aboriginal settlers, made these first settlers move forward tody pe Opoji, leaving a handful of the more virile and stubborn type which is still represented today by Idunekhakpozi.

Remnants of these people have almost been swallowed up by Uwenujie Eguare, but identifiable are the late Eranga Irabo, Akhidue, father of Egbele the palm wine tapper, Aboiralo and Ijiekhumen now in Idumebo.
