History
Ajah was founded by the Odugbese Abereoje who accommodated Ogunsemo and Ojupon families in the 16th century. The Odugbese Abereoje were the first settler and which major occupation was fishing. They appointed the Baale (Someone that is always around), while they were away in the river fishing to see to the affairs of the community in absentia. The Baale was from Ogunsemo.[2] Ajah land is divided to 42 chiefs and 10 king makers. The 11th Baale of Ajah, Chief Murisiku Alani Oseni Adedunloye Ojupon was installed on 1 October 2009.[2]
Ajah is occupied by Ajah and Ilaje people who migrated to Ajah after being displaced from Maroko and Moba. The Ajahs and Ijajes have long been embroiled in intercommunity wars.[3] Ajah is also surrounded by the border of water which links the Lagos lagoon to the Atlantic Ocean.
