The Ife of Benin, numbering approximately 255,000 people, are Engaged yet Unreached. They are a Yoruba-speaking people of Benin who, like related Togo communities, call themselves Ife rather than Yoruba, tracing origin to the sacred city of Ile-Ife and including descendants of 17th-century war refugees who founded communities such as Atakpame. They mostly adhere to Animism and Ifè is their primary language.
