Amanchor Cave is located in the Etiti community of Edda, Afikpo South, in Enugu State of Nigeria.
[2] According to Chief Boniface Agwuibe, the community head, said the cave was discovered by a hunter, Ofia Ugo (or Uko), who named it Ogba Amanchor.
[3][4] The Amanchor cave has a natural step-like entrance that is supported by a wooden ladder built by the community.
On the last Orie (one of the four market days in the Igbo cultural calendar) of the year, in December, an annual event known as Orie-Ogba is traditionally held in the cave.
[3] O. Emeafor and C. Odum of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka have written that the hamlet of Amanchor has rich cultural practices including the secret cult of Egbela, a rite of passage for boys into manhood.
