Abstract
This chapter addresses the history of Islam, how Islamic law was introduced into Nigeria and how the Sokoto Caliphate (1808–1903) became the champion of the establishment of Islamic law in Northern Nigeria in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The northerners have never ceased applying Islamic law to their citizens and thus they are totally familiar with this Islamic legal system.
