The Ogbia High Court sitting in the Bayelsa State capital, Yenagoa, has ruled that Otuabagi is the host community to the first oil well that crude oil was discovered in commercial quantities in Nigeria in 1956.
It also ordered “the Oloibiri community to desist from demanding a relocation of the Museum and Research Centre Project or any part thereof since the earmarked project can only be sited where artefacts such as the first oil well are located.”
