The Kano State Hisbah Board has arrested Jigawa State Commissioner of Special Duties, Auwal Danladi Sankara, in an uncompleted building in Kano.
Sankara was reportedly arrested with a married woman under suspicious circumstances late last night.
A Hisbah official, speaking to Kano Times on condition of anonymity, confirmed the arrest, stating, “We arrested Auwal Danladi Sankara, the Jigawa Commissioner, with a married woman in an uncompleted building that belongs to 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,” the official added.
Efforts to reach Jigawa State Government spokesperson, Hashimu Gumel, for comments were unsuccessful at the time of this report.
