Wakkati laamorde

Ikot Ekpene, probably more than any other town, was seriously impacted in the Biafrian civil war. ^{[<span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (September 2021)">citation needed</span>]} It had strategic military and political importance to both the Biafrans and Nigerians. The town and the area changed hands at least 3 times in this bitter conflict. Following the war, the new reorganization and state structure led to policies that did not recognize the historic importance of the town as most of the Annang leaders were massacred during the war.

Bana ɓurɓe annang, Ikot Ekpene ina woodi aada ɓeydaade hoore mum diga ɓiɓɓe mum, ɓadiiɓe e ɓaleeɓe. Yimɓe feere ɗon kuuwdi ngam ɓe maɓɓita bee maɓɓuki ko ɓe nodda "Raffia City".
