ABSTRACT
In recent times there has been a
renaissance of the Islamic heritage in the consciousness of the adherents of
the Islamic faith and this has sought expression in their quest to conduct
their affairs in accordance with Islamic injunctions. This has become
noticeable in areas where Islam is the predominant religion in northern
Nigeria. In the past decade, there has been a renewed focus on the Islamic law
system, with twelve(12) of the nations thirty six states adopting it in public
proclamations. The focal point of this research is a critical assessment of the
likening of Islamic law to customary law in relation to the case in
focus- Alkamawa v Bello &anorand with a unanimous voice, the
Supreme court in its full Constitution categorically and clearly brought to
rest the point that Islamic law is not in similitude with customary law. Its
uniqueness and distinction from customary law was succinctly enunciated on the
account of the fact that it has no particularity with any tribe. It is more
universal than tribal. And as though intensive and extensive x-ray was made
clear. With no few instances, this research examines various reasons why
Islamic law cannot be fairly and squarely regarded as customary law. The
methodology of this work is a critical analysis of the subject and mode of
collecting data for the richness and accuracy of this work is built within
statutes, case laws, textbooks, articles, internet researches etc. In
furtherance, and on a note of finality, conclusions and recommendations were
made to the effect that the fact that other religions are not freely at
operation in the country, therefore, the wings of Islamic law and its
accompanying operations in the northern region of Nigeria should be clipped.
