IHECHIOWA: Ututu Clan is bounded in the North by
Ihechiowa Clan. Oral history tells us that the Ututu migration (which happened
at the same time as the Ohafia and Abam migrations respectively) took place
before the Ihechiowa people came to inhabit their present location.
However some Ihechiowa Villages
notably Umuchiakuma still trace their history to Asaga Ohafia, and the
similarity in language between the Clans attest to the fact that there is some
strong connection between the ancestors of the two Clans. Also the maternal
descents “Ikwu” made up of descents who can trace their maternal lineage from a
particular woman are all evidences of the strong ties between the two Clans.
