Abdusalami dan Salih Alimi was the first Emir of Ilorin, reigning from the official establishment of the emirate in 1820 to his death in 1842.[1] He founded the state after the death of his father Shehu Alimi, and led Ilorin against various Yoruba attempts to retake the city, particularly the Mugbamugba War.[2] He pledged allegiance to the Sokoto Caliphate in 1823.[3] After destroying the Oyo Empire at the 1835 Battle of Ilorin, Abdulsalami launched a jihad toward the sea but was ultimately stopped at the Battle of Òsogbo in 1840 by the army of Ibadan.[4][3][5]
