520			_aIn the 1960s in the Ivory Coast, elephant hunters shined as heroes in the memory of the Ndenye inhabitants whereas executioners inspired terror and lived in the shadows. However, these two groups shared several features. They were united by their loyalty to the same bosson (deity), whom the hunters called Aboya and the executioners called Alu. Both formed some sort of autonomous bodies, had their own rules, and recruited members along paternal lines in a mostly matrilineal society. Last, they were under the authority of the king who gave them direct orders. They have no doubt played a key role in the rise of the small kingdom of Ndenye at the end of the nineteenth century.
