The data that produced the transmutation of the legend of Inikpi in this research was
generated through field work. The researchers visited Idah and Ojokogbe, Ofu for data
collection. Two chiefs were sampled for interview: one, from Idah and the other from
Ojokogbe, Ofu. A list of traditional oral forms was made. Out of a number of these oral
forms, the Inikpi story was chosen. The interview question was on Inikpi. The story as told by
the two chiefs was recorded for accurate transmutation. Using the elements of drama and
theatre such as plot, story, theme, character, stage, etc. the story was transmuted. A suitable
place is needed to serve as theatre for the performance of this story. If given the desired
attention, theatre in Igala land will improve the economy and create jobs. Large audiences
are awaiting the introduction of Igala theatre.
