The Arochukwu Long Juju Cave Complex is in the Arochukwu LGA and is a significant cultural tourist site. The cave contains the shrine of Ibn Ukpabi whose oracle pronounced judgements in disputes among the Aro Igbo people. Those found guilty were believed to be the property of the gods and were sold as slaves or retained to serve the priests and gods. The National Commission for Museums and Monuments submitted the site in 2007 for inclusion among the UNESCO World Heritage sites .
In the nearby village of Ujari there is a slave memorial museum.
There is a six-foot gully though now covered 'in a thickest that leads into the ancient Cave Temple. This is the main oracular shrine of Ibn Ukpabi and by which stands as if on guard the cult statute of Kamalu "the warrior god". The site also contains an altar.
There is also the throne of judgement - the dark presence ("the Holy of Holies") those who were found guilty walked into dark tunnels and those found innocent returned to their relatives. Other features include a hill of rags. That is the place where the condemned were required to undress and Leave their clothes before they disappeared into the tunnels around the hill of rags. There is also the tunnel of disappearance, which is the dark tunnels into which the victims disappeared. At the site can be found the red river where it is said that as the victims disappear, the aro would colour the river red to give people the impression that the condemned has died. And the red water flowing down the stream would be a sign to the relatives that the victims were dead. Yet another feature is the Iyi-Eke - an outlet from where the victims now blind folded walk to "Onu Asu Bekee" (the European beach, which later became the government beach) and from there, waiting boats took the enslaved to Calabar for onward transmission to Ala Bekee.
