Ohafia, Administrative district in Abia State, Nigeria.

The local government area of Ohafia extends across twenty-six villages with a population between 300,000 and 400,000 residents in southeastern Nigeria.

The region developed from settlements of skilled warriors who established a system of autonomous communities, each led by traditional leaders called Eze.

The communities maintain the ira agha performance tradition and utilize both modern courts and customary tribunals for resolving local disputes.

The Amavo central market functions as the primary trading center, where residents exchange agricultural products including yam, cassava, and local crafts.

The Goodluck Jonathan Barracks, Nigeria's third largest military installation, houses the headquarters of the 14 Brigade and 145 Battalion complex.
