The Jigawa State Commissioner for Special Duties, Auwal Sankara, has been arrested with a married woman in an uncompleted building in Kano State.
The commissioner’s arrest was confirmed by the Kano State Hisbah Board Director General, Abba Sufi, on Friday, October 18, 2024.
Sufi said Sankara was arrested after the woman’s husband, Nasiru Bulama, reported that the commissioner was engaging in an illicit affair with his wife and mother of his two children.
He said the arrest was made possible through intelligence tracking after receiving a series of complaints about his relationship with the married woman.
Sufi said: “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 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, the mother of his two children.
“Nasiru Bulama filed the complaint with the Kano State Police Command, the Department of State Services, and the Hisbah Board, alleging Sankara’s involvement in illicit sexual activities with his wife.”
The DG stated that Sankara would be taken to court on several cases against him, including operating an alleged illicit drugs centre.
“We have been having problems with Sankara because he is operating illicit drug centres in the name of hotels with prostitution and drug addiction activities,” Sufi added.
He further stated that the Board would prosecute Sankara in court on Monday, October 21, 2024.
