Sampa

Sampa is a town of the Nafana people in the country west of Banda. Local tradition tells of an earlier settlement at Kakala and a migration led by Tolee Sie Nyonogboo and Tolee Kra Longo. At Tambi, the chief of Jamera asked the newcomers for help against the Klolosa. After the fighting, land was granted to them in the area that became Sampa. The town also served as a market during the era of the slave trade, when captives were carried along the routes crossing this part of West Africa.
