Who they are
The Acipanci, who call themselves Acipu, live in northwestern Nigeria, between Kebbi and Niger states. They speak the Tirisino variety of the Cicipu language. Almost all Cicipu speakers are also fluent in Hausa, which is widely used in the region. Islam has the largest religious following, while Christianity and traditional beliefs also have followers.
