The Commissioner of Special Duties, Jigawa State, Auwal Danladi Sankara, who was allegedly caught having an extramarital affair with a married woman, Tasleem Baba Nabegu, has been arrested.
Announcing the development on Friday, the Kano State Hisbah Board said the commissioner was caught red-handed with Nabegu in an uncompleted building owned by him.
The Hisbah Director General, Abba Sufi, disclosed that the commissioner’s arrest followed a series of complaints from Nabegu’s husband’s younger brother, alleging the commissioner’s involvement in nefarious activities.
Sahara Reporters quoted Sufi as saying, “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.”
According to the Hisbah boss, Nasiru Bulama, Nabegu’s husband, had filed a complaint accusing Sankara of engaging in an illicit affair with his wife, the mother of his two children.
He said Bulama reported the incident to the Kano State Police Command, the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Hisbah Board.
The official added, “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.”
Sankara will face prosecution on Monday for multiple cases, including engaging in an extramarital affair with a married woman, operating illicit drug centres (with names Picklock, 360, and three other areas) disguised as hotels as well as promoting prostitution and drug addiction.
