Moti Abba Bok'a was king of the Gibe Kingdom of Jimma (reigned 1859–1862). He was the son of Abba Magal, and brother of Abba Jifar I. Because Abba Rebu's son was an infant when he was killed, Abba Bok'a was made king. A devout believer unlike his predecessors, he advocated Islam in Jimma, building many mosques and sending educated Muslims to proselytize and teach in his provinces. He was very old at the time he became king, and died from natural causes.
