The Kano State Hisbah Board said it arrested Jigawa State Commissioner of Special Duties, Auwal Danladi Sankara, in an uncompleted building with a married woman.

According to the board’s Director General, Dr. Abba Sufi, who confirmed this on Friday evening, the arrest was made possible through intelligent tracking after receiving a series of complaints of his nefarious acts with the married woman by her husband’s younger brother.

“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 that we received,” Dr. Sufi said.

Sufi said the arrest followed a complaint by Nasiru Bulama, the woman’s husband, who accused the commissioner of engaging in an illicit affair with his wife, Tasleem Baba Nabegu, the mother of his two children.

“Nasiru Bulama filed the complaint with the Kano State Police Command, the Department of State Services and the Hisbah Board, alleging Sankara’s involvement in illicit sexual activities with his wife,” the official added.

The DG explained that they are taking Sankara to Court on a number of cases against him including operating illicit drug centres with the names Picklock, 360 and others.

He said, “We have been having problems with Sankara because he is operating illicit drug centres in the names of hotels with prostitution and drug addiction activities”.

Sufi added that they are prosecuting Auwalu Sankara on Monday at a competent court of law.
