Who they are
The Panawa live in Nigeria, in the Toro area of Bauchi State, and also in Bassa, Plateau State. In 1948, their villages in Toro moved from a hill to the plain, keeping their names and clan organization. They speak Panawa. Most are Muslim, but there are followers of traditional religions and a small Christian minority.
