Auwal Sankara, commissioner for special duties in Jigawa,
has denied allegations of having an illicit affair with a married woman.
On Friday, the Kano state Hisbah board said Sankara was
arrested at an uncompleted building over an alleged illicit affair with a
married woman in Kano.
Abba Sufi, the director general of Hisbah, alleged the
commissioner’s arrest stemmed from the woman’s brother-in-law’s complaint,
accusing him of improper conduct.
Sufi added that prosecution of the commissioner would begin
on Monday in a competent court of law.
Reacting to the allegation in a statement, the commissioner
dismissed it as “false, malicious and baseless.”
Sankara vowed to take legal action against those behind the
allegations, adding that their aim was to damage his reputation.
“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,” the statement reads.
“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.”
