Onicha Olona town is a town in the Aniocha North local government area of Delta State, Nigeria. It is the HQ of the former Onochie Kingdom (Onicha-Olona and the expanse towns and villages), first ruled by Oba Ugbe, the brother of Oba Orhogbua (both brothers were sons of Oba Esigie of the ancient Benin Kingdom). Originally, it was ruled by the descendants of Oba Ugbe who reside in the present day Idumu-Ugbe Qtrs (Ugbe Royal Qtrs) before the arrival of the British.[1]
Onicha Olona has been challenged with the efforts to solve its Obiship over the years.[2]
