The community which is in Orumba South LGA of Anambra State, shares borders with Alaw in Orji-River LGA of Enugu State and Isuochi in Umunneochi LGA of Abia State.

Since it is a walking distance from Isuochi, the ESN men normally enter Isuochi on foot, carry out attacks and kidnappings in Abia State and return to Owerre-Ezukala while the attacks are being attributed to the so-called unknown gun men camp in Umunneochi.

Many kidnap victims are regularly brought into the village in the open. While some are released after payment of ransom. The not so-lucky ones never make it out of the camp.

Independent investigations conducted show that the entire community has been over run by members of the ESN as they not only sleep in the camps but also are living within the community in the houses of many youths in the village that have been recruited to join the group.
