Following the renovation of the largest of the dead houses belonging to the deceased kings of Oku, it must be consecrated by means of a sacrificial ceremony performed by the king and the most important dignitaries of Mbele, the royal clan. After a lengthy prayer is intoned by the king, a sheep is sacrified and the burial mounds are rubbed with a mixture of blood, palm oil, and earth. While the sheep is being roasted, the king passes out cola nuts and palm wine.
