AB - The Akoko are a sub-group of the Yoruba ethnic group in Southwest Nigeria. Despite sharp linguistic variations, the indigenous political system of Akoko towns is akin to the monarchical system in other Yoruba towns. However, between 1897 and 1960 Akokoland fell under British colonial rule, like many other Nigerian territories. The new political system brought far-reaching consequences upon the nature and operations of the pre-existing government and politics in Akoko territory. While certain British colonial policies subverted the power and authority of traditional rulers in Akokoland, some others created conflict within the traditional authorities and institutions of Akoko kingdoms. Therefore, using the chieftaincy crises in Ikare, Oka, and Akungba kingdoms as case studies, this paper shall evaluate the impact of British colonial policy on Akoko traditional political institutions and authorities, particularly with respect to change and conflict during the period 1897-1960. The Indirect rule system introduced by the British administration created far-reaching changes in Akoko traditional institutions, authorities, and society, especially as it substantially undermined the power and authority of Akoko traditional rulers, chiefs and other indigenous institutions in favour of the British colonial administrators and administration. In addition, British colonial policy created disaffection, tension and conflict within and between Akoko traditional institutions and authorities during the study period and left enduring legacies in some kingdoms. Data comprise both primary and secondary sources.
