Abstract
Islam came into Ibadan land through trade relation that
had been established between Hausa, Nupe and the Yoruba
people. These category set of people exchanged kolanuts, animal
skin, leather and grandnuts as medium of trade as far back as 14th
and 15th centuries. Thus, the age long trade contact and
communication between these mentioned groups of people
further consolidated the advent and spread of Islam in Ibadan
land.1 After the collapse of old Oyo Empire, many refuges
migrated into Ibadan to settle because they were unsettled and
displaced from their hometowns. By 1830, the dominant Yoruba
and Hausa Muslim groups that settled in Ibadan land include the
Oyo-Yoruba, Ife and Egba, Nupe and Bornu groups
