He disclosed this on Wednesday while addressing newsmen to mark the opening of Leboku New Yam festival in the area.
Obol Ofem Ubana Eteng said the water was discovered recently by a hunter who alerted the people of Ugep.
He noted that with the discovery, Ugep had added another tourism site to the festival which, he said, had grown in the last ten years since the MTN Nigeria began its sponsorship.
“We have a lot of tourism sites in Ugep and I want to bring to your notice the recent discovery of a cave with a stream that has cold and warm water.
While assuring both visitors and tourists to this year’s festival of security of lives and properties during and after the annual event, the revered monarch said the recent crisis that erupted in the area as a result of activities of cultists had been brought under control.
The monarch used the occasion to appeal to the state governor, Prof. Ben Ayade to resettle the people of Ebijakara, who he claimed, had been taking refuge in surrounding communities as a result of displacement borne out of communal crisis with neighboring Ebom community.
Also speaking, the state Governor, Prof Ben Ayade promised to make this year’s Leboku festival a memorable one, saying government was planning a cultural exchange with Finland.
