​​The war officially concluded in 1892, leaving Ibadan unable to establish a lasting empire or unify the Yoruba people.

 

In 1986, a century after the Kiriji war, a reconnaissance trip to the peace treaty signing site revealed significant insights into Yoruba peacemaking practices. Notably, the termination of war involved boundary adjustments, marked by the planting of the dracaena perennial tree, known as peregun.

 

Today, the two peregun trees at the Ekiti-parapo peace site still stand, serving as enduring symbols of peace and a reminder of the commitment to cease hostilities.

 

The Ekiti-parapo peace site is marked by the majestic peregun trees, standing tall for over a century, symbolizing the enduring spirit of unity between the Ibadan and Ekitiparapo territories.

 

These remarkable trees are not only resistant to fire and drought but also possess the remarkable ability to regrow when cut.

 

Among the Yoruba, the peregun holds sacred significance, with a strong taboo against uprooting it, reinforcing its role as a symbol of resilience and peace. The peregun remains a timeless reminder that true unity can withstand the test of time.
