Abstract
The aim of this then is is to make a comparative
study of the defence of provocation in Nigeria and
the Sudan.
Provocation as a defence attracted criticism
by many writers directed to the concept of a
reasonable man and the doctrine of proportionality.
In this comparative study I examined the differences
between the Criminal Code which is applicable in the
South and the penal code applicable in the North.
This thesis is divided into five chapters.
The introductory chapter is about the historical
background and definition of the doctrine of provocation
in Nigeria.
In Chapter III examined the defence of
provocation under the Nigerian Law and showed the
differences between the two codes and when there
departure from the English Common Law,
In Chapter III I examined the defence of
provocation under the Sudanese Law,
Tn Chapter IV I examined the provocation as a
defence to offerees other than homicide - a comparative
study.
Chapter V is about the test of provocate
i.e. the test of a reasonable man.
The conclusion is about the future of provocation
in Nigeria i.e. a critical appraisal of the Law of
provocation in Nigeria.
