On there submissions the people of Enugwu Umuawulu and Agbano Awgbu who were present during the state government's visit to the area as agreed stated that the Ngeneoku Stream with tripura on Ndunikwo stream is their ancestral boundary decried on why the people of Umuenu Umuawaulu went against the court judgments and constructed a recent culvert claiming the culvert is the new boundary.
