Chief Okoroji's House, National heritage site in Ujari, Nigeria
Chief Okoroji's House stands as a mud structure with an aluminum zinc roof, containing historical artifacts including slave chains and brass manillas.
Built in the 17th century by Maazi Okoroji Oti, a local chief and slave merchant, the house received national monument status in 1972.
The house exhibits traditional Igbo architectural design and functions as a museum displaying sacred shrine objects from the local community.
Visitors can examine historical items such as swords, guns, and trading materials that illustrate the commercial activities of past centuries.
Four hundred individuals were reportedly sacrificed to Ibini Ukpabi oracle after the death of Okoroji Oti, marking the house's connection to local practices.
