Origin
Culture
The people of Itunta mark the Inyang festival annually. They are the only community in Ikwuano who perform this event. It is quite distinct from the usual Ekpe festival in which every other Ikwuano community celebrates. Members of this community are mainly peasant farmers and deal mostly in rice and cocoa. Christianity is widely practiced. English and the Ibere dialect of Igbo are the languages spoken in Itunta.[7][8]
