Obinkita

Village in Abia State, Nigeria

Obinkita is one of 19 villages of Arochukwu. It was the capital of the Ibibio kingdom of Ibom before its conquest by Igbo and Akpa invaders in 1690–1720. This town is significant in Aro History because Obinkita became the center where defeated Ibibio warriors were judged. This is why all Aro villages assemble at Obinkita during the Ikeji festival.
