History
Lalupon is also significant in Nigeria history. The duo of Major General Aguiyi Ironsi and Lt. Col Adekunle Fajuyi were killed in the Ibadan 1966 retaliatory coup. And their remains were found within Lalupon axis on the road to Iwo town.
Prior to this, the train derailment which claimed 66 out of 370 passengers on 29 September 1957 occurred after leaving Lalupon Railway Station to Odo-oba. An incident which was caused by erosion from a sudden flood due to heavy rains
On September 29, 1957, a train derailment led to the death of 66 passengers out of a total of 370. After days of rainfall, there was a washout around the tracks within Lalupon and Olodo stations and trains were given a caution sign to proceed. When the train reached mile 138 between Lalupon and Odo-Oba, the track buckled under the weight of the train and 7 out of the 16 cars derailed.
It was within the area that the duo of Aguiyi Ironsi and Adekunle Fajuyi were shot by soldiers of the July 1966, Nigeria coup.
