Isiokolo as a place boast of many notable families like the Emeyese, Akpofure, Oboroh, Akpochafo, Tonukari, Akpobaro, Emorhokpor, Etaghene etc. Due to recent need to reconstruct Isiokolo history in line with their developmental pace, some school of thoughts were of the view that the slow pace was as a result of the name "Isiokolo" which was the name of the people's deity. This view reached a crescendo mostly during when Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor organized a crusade there.The name was later changed to Otorho Agbon,an umbrella name.
