Jigawa Governor suspends Commissioner over adultry
Gov. Umar Namadi of Jigawa has approved the immediate suspension of the state’s Commissioner for Special Duties, Alhaji Auwalu Sankara, over alleged adultry.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government(SSG), Malam Bala Ibrahim in Dutse on Saturday.
Ibrahim said that the suspension was to allow for proper investigation into allegations made by the Kano State Hisbah against the commissioner on alleged adultry.
“The decision comes in the light of recent claims that necessitate a thorough examination to ensure transparency and uphold the integrity of the State Administration,” he said.
Ibrahim emphasized the commitment to accountability and adherence to ethical standards in governance by the State Government.
“The suspension is a precautionary measure intended to facilitate a fair investigation.
“We take all allegations seriously and are dedicated to upholding the trust of Jigawa citizens in the government,” he said.
Recall that the Kano State Hisbah Board had arrested and detained Sankara for allegedly commiting adultery with a housewife in an uncompleted building located in the state capital.
The board’s Director-General, Dr Abba Sufi,who confirmed the report,said the arrest was made possible through an intelligence tracking that followed complaints about the commissioner’s “nefarious acts with the married woman by her husband’s younger brother.”
