The Ijemo Massacre occurred on August 8, 1914, in Abeokuta, resulting in the killing of a number of Ijemo people. The incident arose from their opposition to the Treaty of 1893, which had promised autonomy to the Egba Kingdom. The crisis served as a pretext for the British colonial authorities to consolidate their control over Egba territory an area that later became part of Nigeria.
