The Kano state Hisbah board says its operatives have
arrested Auwal Sankara, the Jigawa commissioner for special duties, over an
alleged illicit affair with a married woman in Kano.
Abba Sufi, the director general of the Kano Hisbah board,
told journalists on Friday that operatives arrested the commissioner at an
uncompleted building he owns in the city.
Hisbah arrested Sankara after Nasiru Bulama, the woman’s
husband, reported that the commissioner was engaging in an illicit affair with
his wife, Tasleem Baba Nabegu, the mother of his two children.
“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 that we were tracking him based on reports against him
we received,” Sufi said.
“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.”
Sufi said Sankara is also facing charges for running illicit
drug centres under the names Picklock, 360, and three other locations.
“We have been having problems with Sankara because he is
operating illicit drug centres disguised as hotels, where prostitution and drug
addiction activities take place,” he added.
He noted that the prosecution of the commissioner would
begin on Monday in a competent court of law.
