Arochukwu was the political and spiritual capital of the Aro Confederacy, a trading network that controlled much of the Bight of Biafra’s slave routes from the 1600s to the 1800s. British forces destroyed its Ibini Ukpabi oracle in 1901, but the shrine site still draws visitors today. Farming, river fishing and trade across its five clans now anchor what locals call Abia State’s food belt.
