The Battle of Aboh, was an attempt by the Attah of Igala to subdue the riverine Igbo's in the city of Aboh. The Battle of Aboh, was between riverine Igbos in the city of Aboh, and the Attah of Igala, over the taxes, and trade of goods like rats, salts, snakes, dogs, slaves,[1] by the Obi of Aboh, to the Attah of Igala.[1] Because of this ,the Attah of Igala requested aid of Dasaba[1] a Fulani warlord to invade the Igbo city of Aboh.This conflict was witnessed and narrated by Scottish explorer William Balfour Baikie.[1]
Background[edit]
This battle took place during a peaceful period in 1851,[1] when the Niger was safe, it was described that "Throughout Igbo great wars are now seldom heard of, but petty quarrels often occur."[1] Even though full scale war wasn't common anymore, quarrels still occurred. The Obi of Aboh, frequently taxed the Attah of Igala for goods he needed. This led to a full-scale battle between riverine, Igbos in the city of Aboh, and the Attah of Igala, over the taxes, and trade of salts, snakes, dogs, slaves, by the Obi of Aboh, to the Attah of Igala. The Attah of Igala requested Dasaba a Fulani warlord to aid him in this expedition, which resulted in a failed expedition against the riverine Igbo's of Aboh, and a defeat for the Attah of Igala, and Dasaba.
