His insistence on the slave trade was the pretext for the 1851 British bombardment of Lagos, for which he went into exile in Epe.<\/p>\n<p>He said the briefing was also to notify the public of the remembrance of his late father, who died 150 years ago and celebrate his first anniversary as the Oloja of Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>NAN also reports that the building, situated in the heart of Lagos Island, remains architecturally strong, with all the relics and artefacts of the late king intact.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kosoko described the building as historical, which the country should never forget and neglect, saying that it was one of the oldest buildings in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a bid to improve tourism in our society, this kind of building should be publicised to attract more visitors. Therefore, we will be inviting the ministry of tourism to visit the place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have sent a letter to National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM), but they didn\u2019t believe this place still exists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey believe Lagos Island is strictly a commercial area and that such a building might have been demolished for businesses, but the truth is that it remains, and King kosoko was buried here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis building was built by the British for King Kosoko to bring commercial spirit back to life in Lagos Island, and all his relics remain in this place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe moment we are done with the renovation, we will seal our partnership and formal presentation with the state government and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/01\/07\/55-journalists-killed-in-2021-unesco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UNESCO<\/a>, \u201che said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kosoko urged Nigerians both home and abroad to patronise their country\u2019s tourist centres rather than neglecting them.<\/p>\n<p>NAN reports that the late king was a member of the Ologun Kutere royal family, who reigned as Oba of Lagos from 1845 to 1851.<\/p>\n<p>While his father was Oba Esinlokun, his siblings included: Idewu Ojulari, Opo Olu (a wealthy and powerful female slaveholder), Odunsi, Akinmosa, lgbaluwon, Ogunloye, Adeniyi, Akinsanya, lbiyemi, Ogunbambi, Olufunmi, Oresanya, Matimoju, Adebajo, lsiyemi, and Ladega.<\/p>\n<p>He died in 1872 and was buried at Iga Ereko in Lagos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Oloja of Lagos, Abiola Kosoko, has appealed to the federal and state governments to declare his late forefather\u2019s 161-year-old building, constructed by the British government, a tourist site.
