The Igbamke indigenes traced their origin through the convener “Unify Igbo Now,” Prince Chukwuemeka Ndukaku who found them out as one of the “BIA” speaking communities all over the world and after comparing names, culture, food and actions of the Igbanke people, concluded that they originated from Aguleri and brought them back to their roots.
The representative of Igbanke people, Prince Azuka Uka said that he is now fulfilled having known his roots, noting that they can now build houses in Aguleri as their home town just as they did in Igbanke, even as he said that his past generations all had Igbo names, as a mark that they are Igbos of Aguleri extraction.
