Ozoro

Ozoro is an Isoko community in the western Niger Delta, in the forested country between the river branches and the uplands. Its people preserve traditions of migration and connections with Benin, though accounts of the town’s origins differ. One tradition relates the movement of people from the neighbouring Okpe community to Ozoro. Isoko communities have their own rulers and histories, while sharing a language and ties with their Urhobo, Ijo and other neighbours.
