Henry Nathaniel's post on Goodwall - When the Benin Kingdom threatened to invade Igala, Attah Ameh Oboni was told by an oracle that sacrificing his beloved daughter, Princess Inikpi, would save his people. Willingly, Inikpi allowed herself to be buried alive at the Niger-Benue confluence. The Benin army then fell into chaos and retreated, sparing Igala. Her selfless sacrifice became a legendary act of courage, forever honored in Igala history as the ultimate devotion to her kingdom.
