The Kano State Hisbah Board has confirmed the arrest of Auwal Danladi Sankara, the Jigawa State Commissioner for Special Duties, for allegedly engaging in an illicit affair with a married woman, Tasleem Baba Nabegu.
Sankara was apprehended in an uncompleted building, reportedly owned by him, while in the company of Nabegu, who is a mother of two.
The Hisbah, which is responsible for enforcing Sharia law, indicated that the arrest followed intelligence tracking.
This operation was initiated after multiple complaints were received from the younger brother of Nabegu’s husband.
“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, we were tracking him based on reports we received against him,” confirmed Abba Sufi, the Hisbah Director General.
The arrest followed a formal complaint filed by Nasiru Bulama, Tasleem Baba Nabegu's husband, who accused Sankara of being involved in a long-running affair with his wife. Bulama had lodged his complaint with the Kano State Police Command, the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Hisbah Board
Sankara is scheduled to appear in court on Monday, October 21, where he will face multiple charges. Hisbah also disclosed that Sankara is under investigation for operating illicit drug centers disguised as hotels, known by names such as Picklock and 360.
“We have been having problems with Sankara because he is operating illicit drugs centers in the names of hotels with prostitution and drug addiction activities,” added the Hisbah Director General
The commissioner, who has denied the accusations, is expected to face legal proceedings over both the alleged affair and his involvement in illegal activities.
