A top government functionary and Commissioner for Special Duties in Jigawa State, Auwal Sankara, has been arrested in an uncompleted building, where he was allegedly ‘feeling good’ with somebody’s wife, Mrs. Tasleem Baba.
This was disclosed by the Director General of the Kano State Hisbah Board, Abba Sufi, who also noted that the arrest operation was carried out on Friday. He further revealed that the Commissioner has also been detained.
According to him, Commissioner Sankara was tracked to the uncompleted building where he was arrested through intelligence gathering about a series of complaints of his extra-marital affairs with the married woman, a mother of two, whose husband has been denied his rights of bed.
“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.
Speaking further, 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, the mother of his two children.
According to him, “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 DG stated that Sankara would be taken to court on several cases against him, including operating an alleged illicit drugs center with names Picklock, 360, and three other areas.
“We have been having problems with Sankara because he is operating illicit drugs Centers in the name of hotels with prostitution and drug addiction activities,” Sufi concluded.
