AWKA—THE people of Aguleri, hosts to Orient Petroleum Resources Plc, commissioned by President Goodluck Jonathan during his recent visit to Anambra  State, insisted, yesterday, that the oil deposits in their land was not in contention, noting that ongoing altercation over oil deposit in Anambra River Basin was due to what they described as confusion caused by armchair geographers.

At a meeting hosted by the traditional ruler of Aguleri, Igwe Christopher Idigo IV and attended by members of the Igwe’s cabinet, leaders of thought and youths of the area, Aguleri people, said that from the arguments since the oil facility was commissioned, it would appear that the people of Kogi and Enugu states laying claim to the oil wells did not know the location of the wells in question.

They noted that as people known for always standing for truth, honour and justice no matter the circumstances, they were confirming once and for all, the ownership of Anambra River oil wells in OPL 915 located in Aguleri Otu.
