*As Commissioner Vows To Sue Hisbah
The Kano State Hisbah Board on Friday evening confirmed the arrest and detention of the Jigawa State Commissioner of Special Duties, Auwal Danladi Sankara with a married woman in an uncompleted building.
This was disclosed by the Hisbah Director General, Abba Sufi to reporters in Kano.
According to him, the sting operation followed painstaking intelligence tracking after series of complaints received from the woman’s brother-in-law about the Commissioner’s nefarious acts.
The Hisbah DG 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.
“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.
“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 added.
The DG stated that they are taking Sankara to court and charging him on a number of cases, including operating an illicit drugs centers with names Picklock, 360 and three other areas.
He said, “We have been having problems with Sankara because he is operating illicit drugs Centers in the names of Hotels that promotes prostitution and drug addiction activities.”
Sufi said that the Hisbah Board would formally charge Sankara to court next Monday at a competent Court of Law.
But in a rebuttal, the Jigawa Commissioner vowed to sue Kano Hisbah Board over Character Defamation.
The rebuttal entitled 'Public Notice: Rebuttal of False Allegations Against Auwal D. Sankara' reads "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 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.
"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." it stated
