It rises near the village of Tobré in Atakora Department and flows northeast, ultimately emptying into the Niger River near Birni-Lafia.[1] [2] In Alibori Department it forms the eastern border of the communes of Banikoara and Karimama, as well the eastern boundary of W Transborder Park. The Pako River is one of its tributaries. It is populated with crocodiles.[3]
