Forgotten 'palace' where spirit of the great chief of Yimbo rests

A section of Bur Dimo. [Isaiah Gwengi, Standard]

"They hatched a plot to humiliate Dimo by forcing him to de-horn his bull in public. This forced Dimo to visit a medicine man, who advised him to move out of Alego," says Achando.

He adds that the medicine man prophesied that Dimo's land was situated towards the setting sun, Yimbo, across the waters of River Yala. And just like the biblical Moses, the present-day Yimbo was Dimo's Promised Land.

Days before the de-honing ceremony, Dimo took his wife, Nyan'gidia and travelled secretly up to the foot of Usenge hill in the land they were to possess. He surveyed the land from Sanda to Misori, and down up to Ramogi hill.
