The Anlo ancestors established several small settlements on the southern western and northern shores of the Keta Lagoon.

These include Anloga, Woe, Tegbi, Keta, Dzelukorfe, Kedzi, Blekusu, Adina, Alakple, Kodzi in the south, Anyako to the west and Anlo Afiadenyigba is on the northern part.

The people of Keta migrated east and founded the Somey State with Agbozume as its traditional capital, on some pieces of land granted to them by Klikor.

It was at this time that Salu a hunter from Toviawo clan went to hunt buffalo (tò) and became ill because he could not perform the rightful rituals required of a hunter of that encounter and due to his illness (insanity) went into hiding to settle at a small portion of the land where a small hill is (Korviefe).

Dufia Drabese I and the junior paternal brother Aglebe together with a convoy of people from Anloga, Woe, Tegbi and others came to Settle, after a short period settlement at a small island called Bekpo (Hokpo = Boko).

Amegashie Afeku a Traditional Herbal and Psychic Healer from Keta came to treat Salu from his illness and brought him back to normalcy for a while.

At this formative stage of Anlo Afiadenyigba, the people normally say "afiadeke nyigba mewoa nu na ame woduna o, wò ntor koe worge na dokuiwò hafi adu" (No land produces its food, it is the people who must produce their own food).

This decision prompted one of the grandchildren of Dufia Drabese I who was son to Akplehe called Fiafome also known as Kaja or Kajahlo (Kadzahlo) to accept the challenge.

Fiafome who became Kaja or Kajahlo (Kadzahlo) consulted three shrines in Anlo Dukor to see his success through the wars upon fulfillment of their conditions.

Some of the conditions Fiafome (Kaja or Kajahlo "Kadzahlo" agreed to fulfill after he was successful from wars and became the Dufia (Head Chief) were to give two virgins to "trorkoshie" at that time ( Mama Dzenawo at Emife at Anloga and Mama Dzatugbi at Adzenfe at Agave) but a yearly contribution from Anlo Afiadenyigba township to Nyigbleafe at Afife for yearly Nyigblea Shrine Festive Occasions.

Kadzahlo after receiving the war bell ("bliku") from the Anlodukor Warlord "Awadada", therefore led the troop from Anlo Afiadenyigba to Agoe-Adzigo War at Togo, Wedomewa at Kpetoe-Agortime and Dzasutagbawa at Dzasutagba successfully and became the Dufia (Head Chief) Kadzahlo I of Anlo Afiadenyigba.

Some of the warriors that served in the camp of Dufia Kadzahlo I then, were Hodzaley (a brother who could not survive at Kpetoe-Agortime) Kordjodey, Yorxor, Akamu, Kokotsi, Fialor, Dorkenu, Soga, Nyadi, Saba, Alorde, Avuworda, Axorlu, Aboni (who also could not survive at Kpetoe-Agortime) Dzakpasu (also did not survive at Kpetoe-Agortime),Tsifoaka (a personal guard to Dzakpasu hired from Likpé), Tete-Dziekpor, Kwakutsey Boafo and Ekpey-Subo (from Subo Royal from Anloga).
