Jukun arms & armour

I thought this might be an interesting topic, mainly because I have tried to find some information and come up with very little!

The Jukun are an ethnic group in the Benue and Adamawa states of Nigeria and formed the Kwararafa kingdom, a powerful state in the 15-18th centuries.

Like many other states at the time they made use of cavalry, lances and other forms of weapons. However, I have not been able to find anything in terms of spears, swords, daggers etc. attributed to the Jukun.

Does anyone out there have anything?
