Did you know? In the 1840s–50s, King Ghezo’s legendary Agojie—Dahomey’s elite all-female warriors—marched on Abeokuta, intent on conquest and enslaving the Egba people. But they encountered more than just resistance: they faced cannons, trenches, and a united city forged by desperation, faith, and fire.

Explore this untold chapter in West African history—a story of courage, clever tactics, and spiritual determination. From Olumo Rock’s fortifications to midnight ambushes and cannon traps, witness how a city of refugees redefined warfare and shattered the myth of invincibility.
