It is meant to determine which branch in Ebara (Oroazi) group has been producing the head of Rumueme to wit: Is it Nyenweli Nsirim who heads the appellants' Rumueme Council of Chiefs or the 8th respondent (Ohahuru Samuel Akaninwo) who heads the respondents' Rumueme Council of Chiefs, Elders and Owhor holders. He said that the existence of the said document (i.e. the 1928-1931 Intelligence Report on the Obia Vlan lkwerre Tribe, Ahoada Division by the Southern Provinces of British Colonial Government) was not known to the appellants/applicants until 28 July, 2010 and the said document is credible, reliable and capable of being believed.

He contended that the document is applicable under the rule in Kojo v. Bonsie (1957) 1 WLR 1223 to resolve the two conflicting traditional histories put forward by the two sides in this appeal.
