The Ika people are an Igboid ethnic group found primarily in Delta State Nigeria & Edo State. The Ika people have two(2) Local Governments (Ika South and Ika North East Local Government Areas) in Delta State, and are also indigenous to Igbanke and Ekpon communities of Orhionmwon, Uhunmwonde and Igueben Local Government Areas in Edo State. They speak Ika, an Igboid language. Most linguists consider Ika to be a dialect of the Igbo language as it is mutually intelligible with other dialects of the language.
