The third immigration to the pre-colonial kingdom of Ijebu was under the leadership of Sokanlu, alias Ogborogannda later nicknamed Obanta.
The march south-westwards stretched over years as they stayed for short rest in no fewer than 75 places including Benin City and Ile-Ife, before finally settling at Ijebu-Ode.
At Ile-Ife Oduduwa received the people with open arms but they continued their journey southwards until they got to the place the Ifá told them to remain.
Several kilometres from their place of settlement, the man in charge of Ogborogannda's cat, nicknamed Elese, missed the pet animal.
On getting to Ijebu-Ode, the Apebi played a noble part in introducing Ogborogannda and his followers to the Oba (ruler) of Ijasi.
