The AFO people are a very closed nation whose history is very rich. They are presently spread in Keffi, Kokona and Nasarawa local Government areas of Nasarawa state. They are also referred to as Eloyi which it is claimed was an attribute to their Middle east origin meaning 'people of the book' and Ajiri. After their torturous journey from Kanem Borno allegedly because of traditional title dispute, they wandered inward to their current location but were forced to live in the famous Inaba rock in present day Kana also called Eloyi by the locals as they were constantly harassed by the Fulani jihadists who were determined to rid them of their pagan ways. The AFO after winning their freedom in a famous battle in Akyawa against the the Fulani forces led by Makama Dogo, proceeded to create a chiefdom in an ancient town called Udege with the crown rotated among the seven major settlements that make up the kingdom. The AFO Paramount ruler is referred to as the OSU Ajiri. Past rulers include Royal highnesses Musa Akaki and Abdulrahman Otto but it was in the reign of the latter that the crown gained more prominence as the staff of office was promoted to first class. The current OSU Ajiri is HRH Halilu Bala Usman whose ascention to the throne is still trailed with lots of controversy as many question his eligibility for the throne as a result his origin.
