Oba Eshugbayi Eleko was deported to Oyo. Oba Eshugbayi Eleko alias "Eleko of Eko", was the Oba of Lagos from 1901 to 1925, and from 1931 to 1932. He was the son of the late Oba Dosunmu. Eleko reigned as Oba of Lagos from 1901 to 1925 and from 1931 to 1932.

The colonial govement wanted his corporation to run Lagos, but he did not corporate so he was depose and remove from office on August 6, he did not comply with the order of his removal and that was what led to his deportation and he was replaced by Oba Ibikunle Akitoye ruled from 1925-1928 and later Oba Sanusi Olusi ruled from 1928-1931.

Oba Eleko lawyers kept on fighting the case in the court of law at the Privy Council in Britain. When Sir Donald Cameron became the Governor of Lagos, he arranged for an out court settlement and Oba Eshugbayi Eleko returned to his Oba ship.
