<h2 class="text-center"><strong>Brief History</strong></h2>
<p>The tribe and the people are called Kagoro or(Oegworok as they called themselves).They hail from Abin Oegworok and their ruler is known as Oegwam Oegworok. It is said that they came from the eastern part of Africa, they left due to wars and
travelled southwest through the south of Chad into Borno State.They later settled at southern Bauchi around Fobur area(now in plateau state).</p>

</div>
<p>They were there for several years till they left and travelled southwestward to Assop (Plateau state) and then to numbio (presently Nimbia) near the Kagoro Hills,the land was uninhabited. While there,they hunted wild animals for food but had
to move after awhile due to wild animals hunting their domestic animals. They moved up to the Kagoro hills and settled at Tsok-Busa on top of the hills. They discovered a good plain land at the western side. The eastern and northern parts
were occupied by the Kachechere (Tacharak) who were under the Dominion of Kajuru.</p>
<p>The Oegworok came down from the hills, fought and drove them northwards and settled on the plains. It was during this war that Yomuang Ada the famous Zafan warior killed seven Tacharak in one day after which skulls of tribal enemies legitimately
acquired in combat later became war trophies. Some of the Tacharak later came back and settled with them,they became Oegworok.</p>
<p>In 1905 Kagoro came under the British rule and in August 1926 when the Plateau province was created, the independent district of Kagoro was included. On the 1st November, 1934 the District was transferred to Zaria province. It remained there
until the creation of states, it was grouped with Kaduna State under Jema’a Local Government. In 1989 it was grouped under kaura Local Government by the federal Government.</p>
<p>Presently Kagoro chiefdom has 3 districts with 18 villages as created by the military Administration of Kaduna state on 26th December, 1991. </p>
