supports: Akpan Okon was the last "Obong" (king) of Obong Okon Ita around 1690-1720. He was overthrown by his brother Kakpokpo Okon with the support of groups such as the Eze Agwu, Nnachi Ipia, and the Nnubi dynasty in the final phases of the Aro-Ibibio Wars. Akpan Okon's defeat was very significant and crucial to the alliance. The alliance between the Eze Agwu lineage and his ambitious brother Kakpokpo sealed his fate, defeated Obong Okon Ita, and laid the foundation of the Arochukwu kingdom. The Federal Republic of Nigeria , commonly referred to as Nigeria, is a federal republic in West Africa, bordering Benin in the west, Chad and Cameroon in the east, and Niger in the north. Its coast in the south lies on the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic Ocean. It comprises 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, where the capital, Abuja is located. Its largest cities include: Lagos, Kano, Ibadan, Benin City and Port Harcourt. Nigeria is officially a democratic secular country. The Aro people or Aros are an Igbo subgroup mixed with Akpa and Ibibio ancestry that originated from the Arochukwu kingdom in present-day Abia state, Nigeria. The Aros can also be found in about 250 other settlements mostly in the Southeastern Nigeria and adjacent areas. The Aros today are classified as Eastern or Cross River Igbos because of their location, mixed origins, culture, and dialect. Their god, Ibini Ukpabi, was a key factor in establishing the Aro Confederacy as a regional power in the Niger Delta and Southeastern Nigeria during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Aro-Ibibio Wars were a series of conflicts between the Aro people (subgroup of the Igbo) and several Ibibio groups in present day Southeastern Nigeria from 1630 to 1720. These wars led to the foundation of the Arochukwu kingdom. Nnachi is one of the founding fathers of the city of Arochukwu, one of the largest cities in Abia State in southeastern Nigeria. During the conclusion of the 17th century, he was a Dibia (priest-doctor) from the Edda people near Afikpo. The Eze Agwu clan led by his relative King Agwu Inobia in the Aro region called on Nnachi for help during the Aro-Ibibio Wars. Unable to break the stalemate in the favor of Eze Agwu, Nnachi called some allies from the east of the Cross River known as the Akpa people. Akuma and Osim Nnubi led the Akpa people into the Aro region and collaborated with Igbo forces (and Ibibio rebels) to defeat the Obong Okon Ita kingdom. Though Osim died, Akuma survived and became the first "EzeAro". After his death, Nnachi's descendants took over the throne starting his son, Oke Nnachi. They are the ruling clan of the Aro people. Kakpokpo Okon was an Ibibio prince from the Obong Okon Ita Kingdom around 1690 - 1720 . He was the son of the marriage between the king and an Igbo woman from the Eze Agwu lineage . Kakpokpo Okon lead a successful coup against his brother Akpan Okon the Obong ( king ) with the support of the Eze Agwu , Nnachi , and the Nnubi dynasty in the final phases of the Aro - Ibibio Wars . Despite the fact that the coup was successful , Kakpokpo Okon was killed in combat . The Obong Okon Ita kingdom was an Ibibio nation with its seat of government in Obot Okon Ita. This kingdom was located between present day Abia and Akwa Ibom states in Southeastern Nigeria. Around 1630, an Igbo group from Abiriba known as the Eze Agwu arrived to Obong Okon Ita. This caused a long term conflict and stalemate known as the Aro-Ibibio Wars. The arrival of Nnachi Ipia and the support of a coup by the prince Kakpokpo Okon against his brother Akpan Okon the "Obong" (king) led to a protracted and unprecedented conflict in the region. However the arrival of Akpa forces led by the princes Osim and Akuma Nnubi, helped Kakpokpo Okon and Igbo forces defeat the Obong Okon Ita kingdom. Akpan Okon was killed and his surviving supporters were exiled. Kakpokpo Okon also died in combat and his family was incorporated to his maternal home the Eze Agwu community. The remaining Eze Agwu, Nnachi, and Akpa dynasties formed the Arochukwu Kingdom. The Obong Okon Ita kingdom was destroyed.
