Itio-Ukhun is an ancient settlement of the Ukhun people before the advent of Wars which forced them to relocate to their current location. A shrine (called Ekhuan) exists in this place that has been in existence from time immemorial. A mystical python is said to exist within the shrine in a deep well surrounded by clay pots. The shrine only reveals itself to whoever it pleases - a person who has not committed grave sins. It's forbidden for one who has had sex overnight to visit the shrine. Before entering the premises of the shrine visitors are expected to rub their hands with native chalk (Ére) signifying purity before being admitted to the premises.
