Obara - a senior deity from the heavens - is said to have sought the permission of Obarisha (literally King of all Gods) - also known as Aseda or Olodumare - to create land upon a celestial space, to bestow upon the space a corporeal experience and to make it habitable for beings that were to be known as ira (iraye) or humans.

As the day of Obara's departure came nigh, the couple was handed a pair of magical ensembles, Edan akọkọ (held by Osorun) and the Ude akoko (a magical golden orb of time held by Obara) – both items still featuring prominently in the Iralepo's cognomen till this day – and allowed to journey on a fiery chain saddle (ewon agbana).

When the party got to an expanse in space known as oriaye, Osorun (the female deity) was said to have stretched her hand, pointing the primordial Edan in a preferred direction whilst Obara then uttered some sacred words known in Isinkan as ‘ebibo’ for the gradual mystical emergence of land.

In order for Obara to save his female companion, he quickly employed the second orb to manipulate time (akoko) to quicken the emergence and spread of land on oriaye which is today recognized as Earth.

The oracle, however, instructed the followers of Oroko to return home to Isinkan because those left there forgot their duty to the sacred land.

The close proximity of Isinkan, Isolo, and Akure to one another was brought about by the need to forge closer cooperation during the Edo invasion of Yoruba peripheral towns.

[6] Orudu approached Okingoroye (father of Onaowuro I), the Iralepo of Isinkan, and the then reigning Osolo with his plea for assistance to help halt the incessant invasion of Edo, and they obliged him.

Since the intervention of Britain in the colonial administration of Nigeria, the government began to formally recognize ancient kingdoms.

Isinkan people agitated for a formal recognition of their traditional ruler, who had been relegated to a subordinate position due to the rise of Akure during the colonial period.

During the administration of Governor Olusegun Agagu, the Iralepo and the Osolo of Isolo were each finally granted the kingship recognitions.

[10] Following this realization, all official records confirmed that the Ondo State Executive Council had indeed received formal submissions of dispute notices from the Iralepo of Isinkan and the Executive Council had formally reviewed the dispute thereafter and had duly recognized the Isinkan Chieftaincy - an action that was never challenged until any possibility of a challenge became statute barred.

In October 2021, the Government of Ondo State directed the Akure South Local Government that the Chieftaincy of Iralepo of Isinkan must henceforth be managed and filled solely in line with the customs and traditions of Isinkanland in accordance with the previous Ondo State Executive Council decision in compliance with the Court judgments.

[12] On 4 November 2021, however, the people of Isinkan peacefully completed the Obaship traditional rites without any rancor or violence, and formally crowned Oluwagbemiga Ojo as Oba Oluwagbemiga Ajimokunola Olofin Adimula, Arulewolasi III, the 94th Oba of Isinkan and the 38th of the Ora dynasty.

The new Oba subsequently entered and took over the affairs of the ancient palace of the Iralepo of Isinkan amidst fanfare.

[14] On 7 November 2021, it was widely reported that the Deji of Akure had sued the Governor of Ondo State and the Attorney General over the Iralepo stool.

On July 14, 2022, Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State officially presented the staff of office and instrument of appointment to Oba Arulewolasi III.

The youths refused to accept it, even after the Iralepo pacified them and advised them to yield to the government 'in the interests of peace'.

The Oluroko dynasty produced twelve kings (namely Oroko, Adin, Olofin, Owaran, Ojijigogun, Ina, Adimula Orisaale, Oro, Eselu, Uyi, Ifatinrin, and Ora).

This is the apex youth cadre, and all Isinkan male children are automatic members of the Oshugbo Usi upon attaining the age of fourteen.
