Ahaba is a rural community in Oloko, Ikwuano Local Government Area of Abia State, Nigeria.[1] [2] [3] Isiala Ahaba and Ahaba Ukwu are the autonomous communities of Ahaba.[4] [5] Ahaba is 23km south of Umuahia, Abia State's capital city.[6]
Ngwu, a headhunter from Ahaba Imenyi in present day Isuikwuato LGA came to Ahaba for headhunting and eventually settled there, hence, the naming of Ahaba.[7]
The people of Ahaba, like other communities in Ikwuano, celebrate the popular Ekpe festival on January annually to mark the end of a farming season.[8]
