Many years ago, the ancestors came to Gomparou from Bembérèké. To come this way, you must go by Kandi. Today, the road to Bani-kperou still follows this path.
[The nearest paved road to Arbonga passes through Kandi, 80 km away. To get to Banikoara, you must ride in a bush taxi for two or three hours. A taxi such as this one carries 20 to 25 people and costs about three dollars.]
