But Mr.Godwin who is a fisherman and a native of Ihiagwa was interviewed to know why the river is drying up, but never gave an explicit answer to the question due to avoidance of been implicated.  


He said " I have been in disarray over the sudden dry up and change of Otamiri Ihiagwa river directional flow because it is where i carry out my fishing business activities with my boat, while others do sand drainaging, and the dried areas were very deep, but the affected connected community areas include umu-Elem and umu-Chima except Mboke.
