The Jigawa State Commissioner for Special Duties, Auwal Danladi Sankara, has denied allegations of being involved in an illicit aff@!r with a married woman.
Earlier on Friday, the Kano State Hisbah Board confirmed Sankara’s arrest and detention in an unfinished building with the woman.
The board’s Director General, Dr. Abba Sufi, stated that Sankara was apprehended following a complaint from the woman’s brother-in-law, who accused him of improper conduct.
Sufi also mentioned that Sankara would face multiple charges, including operating illicit drug centers under the names Picklock and 360.

In a statement issued on Friday night, Sankara refuted the allegations, calling them false, baseless, and malicious.
He asserted that the accusations were part of a deliberate attempt 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 aff@!r with a married woman.
“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, 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,” the statement reads.
Sankara also pledged to take legal action against those responsible for disseminating the false claims.
“I am taking this matter seriously and will pursue legal action against those responsible for disseminating this false information and attempting to harm my person,” he added.
