*2.* The confirmation was made during a peace meeting with Igabo leaders, including Chief Thomas Ikwulono from Ai’Adagbo, Chief Silas Anebi Agidi the Aadu Joko of Akpeko, and Chief Moses Antenyi the Ochai-Ijele from Olubi sub-clan.
*3.* In the meeting, the Och’Idoma attested that the evidence before him showed that Chief Thomas had been recognized since 2nd September, 2001, and wondered why his clanheadship was being contested after 23 years.
