As you may all know Kogi State
have pushed Aguleri people to
the wall and we can no longer
fold our hands and do nothing.
The Orient Oil belongs to
Anambra State in Aguleri land
but we have witnessed the
killing and destruction of Aguleri
properties and loss of our loved
ones by the mercenaries hired
by the government and people
of Kogi State to lay claims to our
land with the hope of forcefully
ejection of Aguleri from her
ancestries land in Aguleri Otu.
Mr. Jacob Edi, the Special
Assistant to Kogi State Governor
restated the claim of Kogi State
when he said “That oil belongs
to Kogi State. OPL 915 which has
oil in commercial quantity is in
Odeke in Ibaji Local Government
of Kogi State”.
His statement was reinforced on
Tuesday night when his people
attacked Aguleri again burning
our homes and taking our
people hostage despite the
presence of the army personnel.
We have called on the
government of Anambra State to
protect Aguleri because of the
Oil Wells and we have equally
sent a strong message to the
Federal Government of Nigeria
to restrain the Government and
people of Kogi State but our plea
have fallen on deaf ears.
However, we wish to make one
more appeal to the Mr. President
as the Commander in Chief and
the Chief Security Officer of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria to
restrain the mad administration
of Kogi State Government.
We shall give 7 days’ cooling
period from TODAY after which
Aguleri would have no other
option than to defend herself
against the invasion of our land
by mad dogs from Kogi State.
We wish to remind Mr. Jacob Edi
and the Government of Kogi
State that in 1994 when their
son Col Mike Attah was then the
Military Administrator of
Anambra State, he sponsored an
attack on Aguleri people which
is commonly called the Obele
War. Just as the Ibaji people
came at the dead of the night so
also Obele people came. You can
ask your son rtd Col Attah the
end story, so shall be the faith of
these mad dogs from Ibaji Local
Govt of Kogi State.
Mr. Jacob Edi went on to say
“There is no community in Kogi
State fighting the people of
Aguleri. Kogi State is not known
for shedding blood; it is the
people of Aguleri and Umuleri
who are known for fighting and
shedding blood. I suspect that
what the people of Aguleri want
to do is to create an alibi so as
to frustrate our efforts to
reclaim our oil through due
process.”
Aguleri are peace loving people.
We acknowledge our past with
dignity as we have every right to
defend our land against any of
our neighbours. We have a very
cordial brotherhood with our
brothers the people of Umuleri
and our respective past is no
longer an issue. An
unconditional peace has
returned to both towns to the
Glory of God.
However, Mr. Jocob Edi failed to
tell the Nigerian people why Kogi
State walked out of the physical
inspection of the boundaries by
the National Boundaries
Commission and the Office of
the Surveyor General of the
Federation. They have resorted
to trouble shooting to blackmail
Aguleri. The people of Odeke
pay royalty to Aguleri for
farming and fishing rights until
the Orient Oil was commissioned
by Mr. President. This is a fact
that is both Historical and Legal.
If Aguleri is forced to defend
herself, we make no guarantees
to the future of Orient Oil and
the huge resources Anambra
State Government and other
stake holders invested on this
project.
Aguleri people have had
enough. We are not afraid to
defend ourselves. We have
placed Nigeria and Anambra
State on Notice. Thank You.

Sound like a barbaric set of ibo people to me, do they really need oil. Since, they prefer war and bloodshed - they youths should betta join MASSOB.

Giving the federal government 7 days ultimatum - see mosquito. If truly the land belongs to Aguleri - go to court and get a f.king injunction ..... ooh i forgot - their like fulani's so they proly did not go to skool.

Tell me do they have fura da nono.

@ Ibaji people, please do not start what you can not finish. Aguleri people are dangerous people. Look for a PEACEFUL way to settle this issue please. Say no to war

Did Kogi govt walk out of the physical examination of boundary by Surveyor General of Federation? If they did,then i think the issue is now more interesting. To me,the Oil belongs to Aguleri;they have given more valid points than Kogi.

Igala people are known to be some of the easiest going people in Nigeria .. They will never fight for a land that is not theirs..

From what have been said since this oil well saga began; the oil wells belong to anambra sate

lol, see them wan dey fight for oil as usual, that part of the country just discovered a curse called oil and the effect of the curse is about to start manifesting..

Oil=curse=bloodshed!

The oil belongs to Nigeria, why killing over it?

chiover: The oil belongs to Nigeria, why killing over it?

Thank you o! Fighting over land and issuing threats to the federal government.

Aguleri people are deadly my ass!!, dem deadly naim dem no go join army carry fight go finish boko haram People who stoke the embers of war forget that there's no one with the monopoly of violence.
