“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.
He stated that the arrest was prompted by a complaint from Nasiru Bulama, the woman’s husband, who accused the commissioner of having an illicit aff@!r with his wife, Tasleem Baba, 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 $3xu@l activities with his wife,” he added.
The Director General announced that Sankara would face multiple charges in court, including allegations of operating an illicit drug center known by the names Picklock, 360, and three other locations.
He said, “We have been having problems with Sankara because he is operating illicit drugs Centers in the name of h0t3ls with pr0$t!tut!on and drug addiction activities”.
Sufi added that they will be prosecuting Sankara on Monday in a competent court of law.
