==History==
The current community of Okpale-Otta has its origin from one of the last three brothers known as Okpale. His name was Adah son Anaga, one of the wives of King Ogbe, the then king who ruled over the small dynasty of Ogege. Adah’s father was the son of Abba, the son of Edumoga. He fathered three main children whom together were known as Okpale. The children were: Odo, Ede and Adah who was the last and from another mother called Anaga. Odo and Ede were of the same mother unlike Adah who was an only son of Anaga. For this reason, he was not very much liked by his two brothers; Odo and Ede. One day, they were out fishing and Adah caught a very fish that he alone could not bring out so, he called on his two half-brothers for assistance. Meanwhile, the two brothers had not caught anything all day thus, out of spite they decided to kill him. So, instead of assisting Adah with his big catch, they were pushing him into the deep side of the river so that he could drown. However, a maternal relative of Adah called Ogwuche who was hunting very close by overheard the shouting of dying Adah so, he ran to his rescue. Few weeks later after settling of the quarrel in the household of Ogbe their father, Ogwuche offered to adopt Adah. And with him, he stayed until he became a full grow man.
Having come of age, Adah took up wives while he settled in an area known as Ogamgam around a river called Ogbadibo. With his wives, he had eight children in this order: Kpkochi, Ugblu, Okpotu, Adikwu, Akor, Idoko, Enoke and Abukar respectively. In pursuit of greener patures, Adah migrated his family a place known as Otta (a river that dries) hence, the name Okpale-Otta, there, he resettled with his family. The eight children formed the clans that make up the present Okpale-Otta.
