About

The Ofo (ọ̀fọ̀) is a sacred staff in Igbo tradition that symbolizes truth, justice, and ancestral authority. Holders of Ofo staves serve as custodians of moral law in their lineages. The staff is invoked during disputes, oath-taking, and community governance decisions. This site in the Igbo heartland represents the broader tradition of Ofo-based justice across southeastern Nigeria.
