Hisbah arrests Jigawa commissioner for adultery

The Kano State Hisbah Board has confirmed the arrest and detention of the Jigawa State Commissioner of Special Duties, Auwal Danladi Sankara, in an uncompleted building with a married woman.

The board’s Director General, Dr Abba Sufi, confirmed the arrest of Sankara with the married woman on Friday evening.

He said the arrest was made possible through intelligent tracking after receiving a series of complaints of his nefarious acts with the married woman by her husband’s younger brother.

He said “Yes it is true we have arrested Auwal Danladi Sankara, the Jigawa Commissioner, with a married woman in an uncompleted building that belongs to him.

“Unknown to him that we were tracking him based on reports against him we received.”

The Hisbah boss further disclosed that the arrest followed a complaint by Nasiru Bulama, the woman’s husband, who accused the commissioner of engaging in an illicit affair with his wife, Tasleem Baba Nabegu, the mother of his two children.

He explained that” Nasiru Bulama filed the complaint with the Kano State Police Command, the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Hisbah Board, alleging Sankara’s involvement in illicit sexual activities with his wife.”

He, however, stated that they had taking Sankara to Court on a number of cases against him including operating an illicit drugs centers with names Picklock, 360 and three other areas.

“We have been having problems with Sankara because he is operating illicit drugs centers in the names of hotels with prostitution and drug addiction activities,” he said

Sufi then hinted that the board would dragged Auwalu Sankara on Monday at a competent court of law.

Meanwhile,

The Jigawa State Commissioner of Special Duties, Alhaji Auwalu Sankara has denied having illicit affairs with married woman in uncompleted building.

He refuted the allegation against a statement issued by the Kano Hisbah Command, which alleged his involvement in an illicit affair with a married woman in an uncompleted building.

Alhaji Auwal Sankara in a statement credited to him, said, “My attention has been drawn to a recent media report alleging that I, Auwal D. Sankara, Commissioner for Special Duties in the Jigawa State Government, have been arrested by the Kano Hisbah Command on charges of having an affair with a married woman.

“I wish to categorically state that these allegations are entirely false, baseless, and malicious, aimed at tarnishing my reputation.

“I am taking this matter seriously and will pursue legal action against those responsible for spreading this false information and attempting to cause harm to my person.

“I urge the general public to disregard this fabricated story, which has been concocted by certain political elements to damage my character and integrity.

According to him,” As a married man, I have the utmost respect for the institution of marriage and would never engage in actions that violate its sanctity.

“I remain committed to upholding the values and principles that I stand for.”
