Oguta is a town on the east bank of Oguta Lake in Imo State of southeastern Nigeria. It is made up of 27 villages, Umu-Ameshi is the administrative centre for the LGA Oguta LGA. Oguta was one of the first territories used by the British to advance into the Igbo hinterland. As of 2012 Oguta's population was estimated at 20,096.[1]Originally, the people of Oguta (pronounced Ugwuta) belonged to the Ancient Kingdom of Benin before they started to migrate. That was around the 16th Century. The migration became inevitable following the series of wars in which the Benin Kingdom w as engaged for the purpose of extending their Kingdom and wielding greater economic and political power. Furthermore, the iron handed reign of Oba Ewuare the Great and his successor, Oba Esigie, precipitated the migration, which affected many other peoples. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oguta Oguta is a socio-geographic community town with a surface area of approximately 2,025.75 square kilometers.
