Omashi iyi cave

Omashi iyi cave was established in , Built by in .

This cave contains compartments, crevices and a very long tunnel about 1km long. It is also the shrine of Omashi-Iyi, the oracle of Akpu believed to offer protection to its people and adherents. Within the cave itself are hundreds of sacred bats that have inhabited it since the origin of the cave, centuries ago. As is always the case with caves, there is a stream; semi-circular in form, which borders the cave and forms a pool at its entrance, this stream is hooded by trees and bamboos, a natural setting for a cave or a hiding place. Each year, the chief priest of Omashi-Iyi offers a  sacrifice at the entrance of the cave to appease the gods of the land,
to solicit for its blessings and to predict the future on behalf of the people.
