Its towns are Ugbawka and Amurri. Ugbawka is reported to be derived from various village groups belonging to Nos. 32 and 33, particularly from Akpugo.
The group is also named in the claims of others: Ozalla and Obe of Akegbe-Ozalla (No. 33) say they are related to it. Ugbawka is counted among the settlements of the southern Nkanu plains, which were filled by movement west out of the eastern uplands.
