Aro-Orji in owerri north Geographical location Arondizuogu is a group of sprawling communities with the largest area, located in the land obtained from Umualaoma town (formerly Isiokpu). Many believe that these lands were obtained through warfare and open massacre of people from Umualaoma. Arondizuogu is situated in Imo State of Nigeria. Most of the wars were stopped by one powerful charismatic Patriarch of the host community ,(Isokpu) by the name Ezerioha Udensi of Obiokwara, Obinihu, Umualaoma(Isuokpu).
