Auwalu Sankara, Commissioner for Special Duties, has been suspended by Jigawa State Governor Malam Umar Namadi. According to the Daily Trust, the suspension is being implemented in order to facilitate an inquiry into claims made by the Kano State Hisbah.
Secretary to the Government of Jigawa State, Malam Bala Ibrahim, made this known in a statement on Saturday. The state administration justified the suspension by saying it was necessary to conduct a comprehensive inquiry to guarantee openness and safeguard the credibility of state officials. You may remember that Sankara was apprehended by the Kano State Hisbah Board while he was in an unfinished building with a married woman.
Hisbah, also known as the Sharia police, made the statement after receiving multiple complaints over Sankara's alleged misbehavior and after conducting intelligence tracking. The couple's husband, Nasiru Bulama, filed complaints with various agencies, including the DSS and the Kano State Police Command, which led to the public to learn about the accusations. Bulama said that Sankara had an extramarital affair with his wife, the mother of his two children.
The commissioner, however, issued a statement on Friday night denying the accusations and calling them spiteful, inaccurate, and lacking any basis. Sankara asserted that the charges were an effort to discredit him. In response, Sankara stated, "I have been made aware of a recent media report that claims the Kano Hisbah Command has arrested me, Auwal D. Sankara, Commissioner for Special Duties in the Jigawa State Government, on charges of having an affair with a married woman."I would like to make it clear that these accusations are completely unfounded, with no basis, and intended to discredit me.
Some political factions have devised this lie to bring disrepute upon me, and I implore the public to ignore it.I would never do anything to challenge the sacredness of marriage, as a married guy I hold it in the highest regard. I will never budge from standing firm in my commitment to the ideals and beliefs I represent.I intend to hold whoever is involved for disseminating this misinformation and trying to hurt me to account for their actions; I am not laughing this off.
