The Commissioner for Special Duties in Jigawa, Auwal Sankara, who was accused of sleeping with a married woman in an uncompleted building has denied the allegations and threatened to sue the Kano State Hisbah board.

The board had alleged that its officials caught the commissioner in a compromising position with a married woman on Friday, October 18.

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 the prosecution of the commissioner would begin on Monday in a competent court of law.

Reacting to the allegation, the commissioner dismissed it in a statement released on Saturday, saying it was “false, malicious and baseless.”

He claimed they were concocted by his political opponents to tarnish his image. He 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.

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.”
