"The Ake live in four villages northeast of Lafia town in Lafia LGA, Nassarawa State, in Central Nigeria. The villages are reached from a track going north from the Lafia-Shendam road, turning at Ashige some 37 km. east of Lafia. Ugah is 20 km. along the track and the other villages are a few kilometres beyond that. These villages are Ugah, Gweyaka, Alingani and Kiguna. Some Ake people have recently moved to a new settlement, Sabongida, close to an irrigation scheme. The four villages have distinct migration histories and are not regarded as hamlets of Ugah. Ugah is by far the largest settlement, but has a very mixed population, including Mada, Eggon, Seyawa and others. The other villages are regarded as more purely Ake."
