In a statement issued that night, Sankara denied the allegations, calling them false, baseless, and malicious.
He asserted that the accusations were a calculated effort to damage his reputation.
In contrast, the state government, through a statement from Malam Bala Ibrahim, Secretary to the Government of Jigawa State, announced on Saturday that the suspension was necessary to facilitate a comprehensive investigation aimed at ensuring transparency and upholding the integrity of the state administration.
