Our Journey
Significant events that shaped the Okarowok Wibye Acel Clan
Oculi Abwango establishes the Okarowok Wibye Acel Clan after separating from the main Okarowok Clan to create stronger, unified leadership.
Abwango rejects British offers to become a warrant chief, choosing to maintain clan independence rather than collaborate with colonial forces.
Abwango convenes all junior clan chiefs to prevent further splits, establishing protocols to maintain clan unity and prevent intermarriage.
