Its towns are Abagana and Aba.
Those two are said to form a single clan together with Nimo and Eziowelli, a community of Ogidi. This is one of the few statements of wider grouping made for this region, where local communities run their own affairs and mostly deny any tie with neighbours except by marriage. The group lies in the western uplands.
