The war was between the Oyos and the Ekitis. Oyo been a very famous tribe in Yoruba land tried to show supremacy over others by appointing District Officers of Oyo origin to rule over Ekiti towns. Ekiti refused and it led to a civil war, because other Yoruba ethnic groups that were not Oyo supported Ekiti, so the war involved all the Yorubas.
