Jigawa Commissioner, Sankara Speaks On Been Caught With Married Woman Inside Uncompleted Building

The Jigawa State Commissioner for Special Duties, Auwalu Danlladi Sankara, has vehemently denied allegations of engaging in illicit sexual affairs, labeling the claims as a politically motivated witch hunt orchestrated by unnamed adversaries.

In a statement released on Friday night, Sankara refuted the accusations, asserting that they were baseless and designed to tarnish his reputation.

The controversy erupted following reports of Sankara’s alleged involvement in an affair with a married woman, Tasleem Baba Nabegu.

The accusations gained traction after operatives of the Kano State Hisbah Board acted on a complaint filed by Nasiru Bulama, Nabegu’s husband, who alleged that the commissioner was having an illicit relationship with his wife.

The Director-General of the Kano State Hisbah Board, Alhaji Abba Saidu Sufi, confirmed Sankara’s arrest, stating that it was part of an investigation into the claims made against him.

“Yes, I can confirm that Sankara was arrested at a hidden location along Lamido Crescent Road. He is now at Kurmawa prison. It is an unfortunate incident,” Sufi stated.

Sankara in his reaction said, “My attention has been drawn to a recent media report alleging that I, Auwal D. Sankara, Commissioner for Special Duties in the Jigawa State Government, have been arrested by the Kano Hisbah Command on charges of having an affair with a married woman.

“I wish to categorically state that these allegations are entirely false, baseless, and malicious, aimed at tarnishing my reputation. I urge the general public to disregard this fabricated story, which has been concocted by certain political elements to damage my character and integrity.

“As a married man, I have the utmost respect for the institution of marriage and would never engage in actions that violate its sanctity. I remain committed to upholding the values and principles that I stand for.

“I am taking this matter seriously and will pursue legal action against those responsible for spreading this false information and attempting to cause harm to my person.”
