ABSTRACT
This work dealt with the various methods and agents of conflict resolution in Akure in pre-colonial times. Although, the means of conflict resolution were archaic and hardly made for a fair or impartial hearing of cases, the preventive strategy which involved the use of taboos was largely successful in forestalling any breakdown in law and order. The native authority wielded mostly by the Deji and in small part by the Mogaji and the Baales was highly respected as it was seen to be divinely granted and very involved in the day to day coordination of activities within the kingdom to ensure smooth operations.
