Arochkwu Long Juju Slave Route
The Arochkwu Long Juju Slave Route started at the slave port of Arochkwu. It has an ancient Cave Temple with a shrine to Ibn Ukpabi. It held a much-feared oracle (called Long Juju by the Europeans) that acted as a judge for the Igbo supreme deity and that, as used by Aro middlemen, served as the major recruiter for the slaves sent to the port of Bonny for sale.
