The Kamberi are spread over a large area from Kotonkoro District, Kontagora Emirate, west to Agwarra, Busa, and Wawa Districts of Busa Emirate, Borgu Division, Ilorin Province (Nigeria). The exact relationship between the names Kambari and “ Kamberi(n) Beriberi ” , and that between the peoples so termed, is not known precisely.
The latter term is generally applied to peoples widely scattered, but generally in the Niger and Benue valleys, who emigrated from Bornu somewhat over a century ago.
