COMPOSITION OF AGBON KINGDOM
Composition Of Agbon Kingdom
Agbon Kingdom is made up of the following sub-Kingdoms which are named after the descendants of the children of Agbon.
(1) Okpara, (2) Kokori, (3) Orhoakpor, (4) Eku, (5) Ovu and (6) Igun.
In the course of time, Igunhas become part and parcel of the Agbon Kingdom. It is on record that Igun migrated from the descendants of Ohwoyovwe in Ewu and settled in Agbon Kingdom.The residents of Igun were later adopted by theAgbon people. Until the nineteen twenties, Ovu was part of Okpara. As a result of the high rate at which the population of Ovu grew, they moved from Eruegbe Quarters of Okpara to their present location, where they found fertile land for their farming occupation. Up tilldate the Ovu people maintain cultural ties withthe people of Okpara. These ties were developedbefore their settlement in their present location.
