Information on this specific subject is currently unavailable to the DIRB. Two nigerian professors at the University of Texas in Austin stated that the chieftancy of Emure Ekiti is about 400 years old and it is not possible to provide names of past kings and Obas without extensive archival research (26 October 1994).
This response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Please find attached the list of sources consulted in researching this information request.
