Jigawa commissioner denies alleged affair with married woman, threatens legal action against Hisbah

 


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.”
