“Our own Imushin is different from Mushin Olosha or Ijebu Mushin. We are Remos. IMUSHIN name is derived from the presence of the numerous ISHIN trees ( IGI ISHIN) in the whole community in the olden days and we consist of 18 villages which are all in the border line of both Lagos and Ogun state.

Don’t forget that we share boundaries with Ogijo, Agbede, Ishawo and Arepo communities. So, God knows the reason He has located us in this beautiful portion of land”, the royal father said.
