Jenkuno is the appellation of M-ba Dogu Sheni, a key figure in the court of the Naa Abudu Satan. Dogu Sheni was exploiting his position as the intermediary to the paramount chief to collect excessive fees from visiting sub-chiefs, which led the sub-chiefs to avoid him when going to see the paramount chief. The drum language talks about mice sneaking by a sleeping cat, which is a warning to both the Dogu and to the sub-chiefs who were violating tradition by going around his back to see the paramount chief.
