Lomo is an entity little attested in the available sources. She appears, in a few compilations of mythology, as a deity linked to peace among the Ngbandi, a people of the north of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and of the Central African Republic. Beyond this association with peace, the narratives, functions and rites that would be proper to her remain poorly documented, and her precise place in the Ngbandi pantheon remains uncertain.
