Oriri-Okochi and Ufuma cave

This is an annual festival celebrated in Ogba-Nnehi in Ufuma town. It is a period that the people gather to thank their gods (God) and pray for blessings every new year. The celebration is done in front of the cave as seen in the picture. Meanwhile, the cave served as a home to Ufuma people during the Nigeria-Biafra war. Presently, it houses different fauna and the environment is filled with different species of flora.

The touristic appeal and value of this festival and cave need to be explored by relevant stakeholders.
