BREAKING: Jigawa Governor suspends Commissioner caught with married woman inside uncompleted building

The Governor of Jigawa State, Malam Umar Namadi has suspended the Commissioner for Special Duties, Auwalu Sankara.

NaijaOnPoint.com.ng (NOP) recalls that the Kano State Hisbah Board on Friday arrested Sankara in an uncompleted building with a married woman.

Hisbah, known as the Sharia police, made the announcement following intelligence tracking and a series of complaints received about Sankara’s alleged misconduct.

Abba Sufi, the Director General of the Hisbah Board, confirmed the arrest, stating, “Yes, it is true we have arrested Auwal Danladi Sankara with a married woman in an uncompleted building. Unknown to him, we were tracking him based on reports we received against him.”

Announcing the suspension, Secretary to the Government of Jigawa State, Malam Bala Ibrahim in a statement on Saturday said the suspension was to allow for a thorough investigation to ensure transparency and maintain the integrity of the state administration.

The allegations surfaced after  the husband of the married woman, Nasiru Bulama lodged complaints with multiple authorities, including the Kano State Police Command and the Department of State Services (DSS).

Bulama accused Sankara of engaging in illicit sexual activities with his wife, who is also the mother of his two children.

But the commissioner in a statement issued on Friday night, denied the allegations, describing them as false, baseless, and malicious.

Sankara claimed the accusations were a deliberate attempt to tarnish his image.
