Histories that mention Abagana
These are published records whose own words name Abagana. A mention is not a history of Abagana, which is why they are listed here rather than with the histories about it. Records already listed above are not repeated.
Read as: Abagana. Counted where the name is written with a capital, because a lower-case occurrence of a name that is also an ordinary word is the word.

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.
