There are underground caves near Fiema, called the Pinihini Amowi Caves, and legend has it that the Bono people came out from the ground through those holes.
According to Bono Techiman traditions, their ancestors crossed the Black Volta River after a fierce battle with the Mossi people in the north.
They then hid in the woods and caves of Amowi. Though the actual cause for the migration from the Amowi rock-shelter is not clear, the Bono emerged from the Amowi caves and built their first town called "Yefiri," meaning "We are coming out."
