His father was Oba Ologun Kutere and his siblings were Obas Adele, Akitoye, Prince Olusi and Prince Akiolu making the Ologun Kutere Obaship line the dominant one in Lagos.^[1] Eshinlokun had sixteen children who survived him. They are in the order of seniority: Kosoko, Olufunmi, Odunsi, Ladega, Ogunbambi, Akinsanya, Ogunloye, Akimosa, Ibiyemi, Adebajo, Matimoju, Adeniyi, Isiyemi, Igbalu, Oresanya and Idewu Ojulari.
