Eguguojo (also known as
Egunoju) was the
Alaafin of
Oyo Empire during the sixteenth century.
It was during his reign that the
capital city was moved from Oyo ile to Oyo Igboho (New Oyo), after a protracted battle with the
Nupe people and also as a result of internal fighting. Prior to the establishment of New Oyo, his grandfather had gone on an odyssey from Oyo ile to escape threats from palace officials. He was succeeded on the throne by his sister
Orompoto.
