Disclosing the history of the town, the monarch said “Ara is a famous town founded by a man, ‘Orira’, who came from Ife town and he was one of Aranfe sons. Aranfe hails from Oduduwa.
On what led to an end to consumption of dog meat, Oba Adesola explained that “the King that time committed an offence that makes Alafin to summon him. On getting to Oyo, Alafin’s daughter was on sick bed; a situation that prevented Alaafin from attending to Ar king upon arrival. Along their way to Oyo, they were with a dog and the dog had killed Okete (a bush rat).

“On getting to Oyo palace, the Ifa chanters said if they did not see Okete, it was possible that Alaafin’s daughter would die. To save the ailing princess from dying, Ara administration tendered the Okete needed and the princess got healed. Because of this, Alafin of that time forgave Ara monarch’s offence and set them free.

“The Ara team that went to Oyo rejoiced till they entered their town but they had neglected the dog that killed the Okete and the dog was sitting behind them and kept looking at them for their ungrateful act. As they began to dine and wine, they threw bones to the dog instead of real food. The dog was angry and he exclaimed “Ah! Is this my reward?”
“The people started chasing the dog, and the dog was rescued by a farmer with his wife but they insisted to kill the dog but the dog suddenly transformed to a stone. We serve this stone till date. We call where this stained is situated ‘Mobo’. Ever since, it became a taboo for anyone in the town to eat dog meat nor have it as pet.”
