The is Jaja of Opobo who left Amaigbo to live in Opobo and multiply/rule the place.
He was a powerful man/king. Dealing in Palm oil and slave trade with the Arọ. Inasmuch as history praises him, he committed some atrocity too like killing Ọdụm-Agege of Azụmini in Ndọkị.

I want to talk about the Ọdụm Agege. He was a very powerful man too who was also intelligent. He never allowed the Arọ and Jaja whose major occupations were slave-trade to deceive his people. He was resisting their antics.
The Arọ tried luring him, but he was stubborn.
The Arọ tried luring him, but he was stubborn.
They told him that Ibini Ụkpaabi was calling him. An instrument they used to annihilate or get people to be sold into slavery. He refused to go. The Arọ told Jaja what transpired.
Being frustrated, Jaja sent his army after him. They came to Azụmini and dragged him to Opobo.

Jaja handed him over to his Ebịrịba blacksmith who skinned him alive using their instruments.
He was an obstacle for their evil transaction. This put fear in the minds of Ọhambele, Akwete, Azụmini and all the clans in Ndọkị.
King Jaja of Opobo had his own dark stories.
