The Kibaku people are an ethnic group inhabiting the Chibok Local Government Area, in eastern Borno State in Nigeria.
[1] The Kibaku people are a conglomeration of the ethnic and culture of Babir/Bura, Kanuri, Kilba, Margi, Shuwa, and Fulani.
Tribes like Pulai/Warga who came from Viyu Kithla (now Biu) and Kwanda who came from Konduga, Tstitihil from Maiva, Karagu from Birnin Ngazargamu and other places later formed the Kibaku people.
One of these tribes is the Kibaku people who resided in Southeastern Borno and were causing havoc in the economical system of the British government by blocking the trade route from Maiduguri to Yola.
[4] The British Government gave Lieutenant Chapman and Chaytor the duty of bringing the Kibaku people to their knees.
