Tuesday, October 22, 2024 –Kano Hisbah has retracted an earlier report
that accused the Jigawa State’s Commissioner for Special Duties, Auwal Sankara
of immoral act.
A Kano State Hisbah Board official, Malam Aliyu Dakata retracted the
report.
The allegation which dented the image of Sankara, has now been removed,
clearing his name of any inappropriate behaviour with a married woman, Tasleem
Baba Nabegu.
The accusations led to the Commissioner’s suspension by the Jigawa State
Governor.
Dakata gave the clarification in a recent interview, stating that
Sankara was not involved in any immoral act.
“When we
arrived at the scene, we found Tasleem in her car making a phone call, while
Sankara was standing in the compound of a building under construction that
belongs to him. There was no evidence of any illicit relationship,” Dakata stated.
The legal counsel for Tasleem, Rabiu Shuaibu further supported Sankara’s
innocence, explaining that Tasleem has been estranged from her husband for
months due to domestic violence.
“Tasleem has been separated from her husband for over 10 months and is
running a business to support her children. On the day in question, she was
delivering food to Sankara, who had placed an order, unaware that her husband
was tracking her movements,” Shuaibu explained.
Reacting to the initial allegations, Sankara condemned the report as
baseless and politically motivated.
“These
allegations are entirely false and malicious. I have the utmost respect for the
institution of marriage and would never engage in such behaviour. This is a
deliberate attempt to tarnish my reputation,” he said.
