Abacha is a deity that was brought into Otukpicho by Enokela Ijegwa' who saw the need to correct some of the vises in the community as the rate of anomalies increases. This deity served as a judge and seer of the community.

While EKA'TAME was given to Ogah  Ochugboju who happened to be the 8th Och'Otukpo in exchange one of his slaves.
It  was brought into Otukpicho from Tiv land in exchange of a slave.

EKA'TAME is a protective deity of a clan in Ai'Ogwuche called Ai'Onyum.
EKA'TAME is the same as Eka-Ocheyi in Otukpo kingdom, though brought in for protection by a clan  called the Ai'Onyum.

When something bad happens or someone does something wrong, EKA'TAME begins to cry and shed tears  inform of blood and can equally speak boldly to people's hearing. It became the source of healing and as it unfolds mystery within and outside the community.

It was examine by some white men from Germany who came into Otukpo and they admired the mystery behind its power. They conspired with seven indigenes who helped them in stealing EKA'TAME in 1977.
Those who work with them in stealing the EKA'TAME died mysteriously after confession.
