Till date, Onyekome Idigo's descendants makes up the ruling royal family in Aguleri.

Aguleri sensing the loss of case, sued Umueri in 1935 but lost too on the ground that they too could not establish exclusive ownership of the land.

[citation needed] Umuoba Anam, another major community in the town and who also was involved in the crisis of 1999, claimed to have migrated into the land in early years of last century precisely in 1900.

From the reports of World Organisation Against Torture & Center for Law Enforcement Education, the crisis emanated in 1994 when Aguleri decided to establish a Motor Park/Market at a location on contested Agu Akor land and destroyed the Blessed Virgin Mary statue mounted on Our Lady of Victory Cathedral Otuocha belonging to the Umueri.

Umueri petitioned and the then State Government who drafted Mobile policemen into Otuocha between December 1994 and April 1995.

Following the re-deployment of the anti-riot policemen out of Otuocha, members of Umuleri community attacked Aguleri on 30 September – 3 October 1995, unleashing massive destruction of human lives and property.

In 1995, a Judiciary panel of inquiry was set up by the then Military Government of Anambra State to investigate the crisis and recommend solutions to avoid future occurrence.

The report of the Judiciary Panel of Inquiry amongst many other things indicted the then Chairman of the Local Government(an Aguleri native) and the Divisional Police Office (DPO) for involvement(taking sides)in the conflict.

The reprisal attacks was said to be carried out because of rumor making round that Aguleri people who at then was engaging in funeral ceremonies of the indicted chairman (who died immediately at the end of 1995 crisis) "wanted seven human heads" to give the former local Government chairman a befitting burial.

[citation needed] Umuoba Anam was one of three land communities formed in 1991, when Otuocha was split and Anambra State created.

[5] Nigerian writer Ifediora Nwabunwanne, in her book entitled "Anambra Day break", argued that the Umuoba-Anam people bought their settlement from Umueri in 1900.

The people of Umuoba-Anam have always provided a safer zone between the Aguleri and Umueri during the dispute; they sheltered the displaced in 1995.
