Hisbah arrests Jigawa Commissioner for alleged adultry in Kano

The Kano State Hisbah Board says it has arrested the Jigawa Commissioner for Special Duties, Alhaji Auwal Sankara over alleged adultry.
The board’s Director General, Dr Abba Sufi, confirmed the arrest when he spoke with newsmen in Kano.
Sufi said that Sankara was arrested with a married woman on Friday evening in an uncompleted building in Kano.
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.
“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,” he said.
The Hisbah boss said that the arrest followed a complaint by one Nasiru Bulama, the woman’s husband, who accused the commissioner of engaging in an illicit affair with his wife, Tasleem Baba Nabegu, a mother of two children.
He said that” Nasiru Bulama filed the complaint at 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 said that the board would prosecute Sankara at a competent court of law on Monday.
However, Sankara had denied the allegation.

He said this in a statement in Kano on Saturday.

“My attention has been drawn to a recent media report alleging that I, Auwal 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.

” 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,” he said.
