Akyode people live in the northern Volta basin in the Oti Region of Ghana, Africa.
These people migrated into the Volta valley from the Mossi region of Burkina Faso around 1000 AD.
The Akyodes are made up of communities, Shiare, Abrewanko, Odomi, Nyambong, Kyilinga, Lebon, Siban, Pawa, Sabon (Kabre Akura), Bonakye, Krachi Akura, Kpabo Akura, Gekorong, Okata (Katai Junction), Kanba (Abrewanko Junction), Nyakoma, Agou, New Agou, Asuogya, Keri, Kabiti, Akonsigewi (Dogokitiwa), Kromase, and Anebogewi (Nyambong Junction).
Kingship is called gewura, and is the form of leadership in these communities.
Other tribes heard of Brukum (Bruku) and the Black stool and hence came to sort refuge.
