Widikum people

The Widikum people are an ethnic group of Cameroon.[1] According to oral tradition, the Widikum people originated from an area near the villages of Bamben and Numben in the Northwest region of Cameroon. Egun Oyimi is said to be the ancestral home of the Widikum-speaking people found in Momo division, parts of Mezam, Lebialem, Manyu, Menchum, Menoua, and Bamboutus divisions.[2]

Historically, the Wikikum engaged in conflicts with the Bali Chamba.[3]
