This often necessitated unnecessary and brutal struggle in the country. The struggle often acquires a religious garb, vis: politicization of religion by instigating one religion against the other, leading to conflicts with unpalatable effects on the masses. This paper attempts to present the Islamic response to the evil mechanism of the Nigerian politicians. This shall sensitize and re-orientate the masses on the Islamic model for the interaction between religion and politics in a multi-religious society like Nigeria. It shall further educate the masses on the political gimmicks of the politicians who in most cases use religion as a tool for their political gains.

Thus, we shall in this paper critically examine the practice of Yoruba traditional medicine among Muslim Alfas with a view to give Islamic verdict on such practices. In doing justice to the paper we adopted the method of oral interview conducted among Alfas in the said local government. This is done to know how deep the Alfas of the said local government had gone in the practice of Yoruba traditional medicine. And our finds show that the Alfas are of three categories when it comes to the practice of Yoruba traditional medicine in the said local government, that is, those who practise it indiscriminately, those who are moderate in their practice and those who detested the practise. However, it is our belief that public enlightenment and mosque to mosque admonition on the Islamic rulings on indiscriminate practice of Yoruba traditional medicine will go a long way in checkmating it.
