The Ika people are primarily found in Areas of Delta State Nigeria. The Ika people and dialect of the Igbo language can be found in Ika South and Ika North East Local Government Areas of Delta State and in Igbanke and Ekpon areas of Orhiomwon and Igueben Local Government Areas (respectively) of Edo State in Nigeria.
