The Kano State Hisbah Board has confirmed the arrest of Auwal Danladi Sankara, the Commissioner of Special Duties from Jigawa State, following his discovery in an uncompleted building with a married woman. The incident occurred on Friday evening and has sparked significant attention.
Dr. Abba Sufi, the Director General of the Hisbah Board, reported that Sankara’s apprehension resulted from careful surveillance after receiving multiple complaints about his alleged illicit activities. These complaints were reportedly made by the younger brother of the woman's husband.
Sufi stated, “Yes, it is true, we have arrested Auwal Danladi Sankara, the Jigawa Commissioner, with a married woman in an uncompleted building that belongs to him. Unknown to him, we were tracking him based on reports against him that we received.”
The incident raises questions about the actions of public officials and their adherence to moral standards, particularly in regions governed by strict ethical codes.
