Product Description

The play is a unique documentation of the story of Okeho, the headquarters of Kajola Local Government area of Oyo State, South West, Nigeria. This is a dramatic documentation of a specific episode in the story of Okeho, the regicide of Onjo Olukitibi, in 1916, an incident that changed the Okeho story drastically. After the unfortunate incident, the British colonial administration stepped in to restore law and order in its way. Its ultimate order was for Okeho to relocate from its nature-endowed refuge in the hills of Okeho-Ahoro to its present site from which it had been forced to flee the Fulani and Dahomey invaders. It is this part of the story of Okeho that is effectively captured in this drama.
