Eha Amufu

Eha Amufu (Igbo: Eha-Umuhu) is a town in the Isi Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State, Nigeria, bordering Ebonyi State and Benue State. It is regarded as the largest and most populated community in Isi Uzo. Before the Nigerian Civil War the town was small and mainly agrarian, and although its founding date is unclear, records reach back to the 18th century. Between 1829 and 1831 it fought a community war with neighbouring Nkalaha over the boundary at the Ochini River and made peace with a blood covenant. In the Civil War of 1967 to 1970 its railway, which carried the Express Train and the local goods train, gave it a strategic position northeast of Enugu. The town later became home to the Federal College of Education, has an official post office, and is made up of ten villages.
