Osheku (also Osheku the Great or Oshek) was the Cheif Atsogwa of Ogute Oke Okpella from 1840 until 1881. Osheku was known as a warlord that led his people of Okpella into battle against the Nupe and Yoruba raids. He left a significant legacy as he led a revolt against the Nupe & Yorubas in the 1870s–1890s during a time of peril in the then Kukuruku Hills, as he led a cavalry called the Imoga Army from the neighboring Akoko Edo Okpella regions where today his descendants reside.
