ILU AJẸ (TOWN OF WITCHES).
There is a small town on your way to Oyo, just behind Fiditi, it's called Ilu Ajẹ. Literally, it translates to "Town of Witches". In the late 80s, there used to be a sign board in Fiditi that pointed to the path to the village, the signboard had the inscription : "WAY TO ILU AJẸ, HOME OF SCIENCE!". Lots of people used to fear indigenes of Ilu Ajẹ because it was said that every man in Ilu Ajẹ is born of a witch, and every woman in ilu Ajẹ is a witch!. It was said some people visited Ilu Ajẹ to find out why a whole village would be populated by witches. What they said: Because the Baale (village head) is dead and no replacement has been chosen yet, we met with the chiefs who told us the history of the town. The father of the current Alaafin, i.e Alaafin Adeyemi II was said to have many siblings when he was young. One of his siblings got missing! A king's son got missing ke? Infact, scrap it, Alaafin of Oyo in those days was not a king, he was an Emperor!
