Ogbunabali
Traditional Igbo death deity From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ogbunabali (Igbo: Ogbúnàbàlị̀, lit. '[One] who kills at night') is the traditional Igbo death deity. His name is considered to be a literal description of his character as he is said to kill his victims in the night, these usually being criminals or those who have committed an unspeakable taboo.[1]
In Elechi Amadi's novel The Great Ponds, a conflict between two villages over a pond turns on a vow sworn before Ogubnabali.[2]
