Шаблон:Infobox royalty Ashipa, the founder of the Lagos royal dynasty but uncrowned as Oba of Lagos,[1] whom all Obas of Lagos trace their lineage to,[2] was an Awori Chieftain from Isheri. Ashipa was rewarded with title of Oloriogun (war chief) after returning the body of one Asheru, a Benin war captain to Benin[3][4] and received the Oba of Benin's sanction to govern Lagos.[5] Some Benin accounts of history have the Ashipa as son or grandson of the Oba of Benin.[6] According to the Lagos traditional account however, Ashípa (Yoruba: Aṣípa) was a local native, an Awori Yoruba chieftain of Isheri.

Ashipa received a sword and royal drum as symbols of authority from the Oba of Benin on his mission to Lagos. Additionally, the Oba of Benin deployed a group of Benin officers charged with preserving Benin's interests in Lagos. These officers, led by Eletu Odibo, were the initial members of the Akarigbere class of Lagos White Cap Chiefs.[4]
