Isinkan, Nigeria
Isinkan (also known as Isikan) is a Nigerian traditional state. It is based in a town of the same name in Akure South Local Government Area of Ondo State. It is contiguous to the Akure Kingdom, and shares such a close proximity to that kingdom that visitors may not know that both are traditionally distinct entities.
Unlike most Yoruba states or towns that trace their history to Ile-Ife, the Isinkan oral tradition predates Oduduwa and Ile-Ife. The ruler of Isinkan bears the title of the "Iralepo of Isinkan".
