Wuro Yolde

Wuro Yolde lies in the country around Hong, south of the Biu uplands and west of the mountains towards Mubi. Kilba and Marghi communities inhabit this part of the upper Benue region. The Kilba kingdom maintained its own rulers in the Hong country, where it faced pressure from the expanding Fulani emirate of Adamawa in the early nineteenth century. Its resistance to that power forms part of the history of the lands between the Benue and the southern approaches to Bornu.
