Who they are
The Kuteb live mainly in Takum, in Nigeria’s Taraba State, and also in some villages in Cameroon. They speak Kutep. Traditionally, they made their living from farming, hunting and fishing in the Benue River basin. Most are Christians in both countries, but traditional beliefs have greater influence in Cameroon. The Kuteb experienced violent conflicts with the Jukun in 1991 and 2008, and with the Tiv from 2006 onward.
