Amongst his followers were Uvie, Ediagbon, Ekedi, Afia, Okpolo and many others. They had a brief sojourn at Jesse and later left as a result of war threats from the Oba. They found Uri, a place located in the present day Isoko South LGA. After a while, they left and settled in their present location, Uruchie, where Oviota Oriro became the first King in 1235 AD.
