Tuesday,
October 22, 2024 -The Kano State Hisbah Board has declared Auwal
Sankara, the suspended Commissioner for Special Duties in Jigawa State, wanted
over an alleged illicit affair with a married woman.
Aminu Daurawa, Hisbah Commander-General, made the announcement on
Monday, October 21, stating that Sankara failed to honour an invitation for
reconciliation after being arrested last week in connection with the affair.
Sankara was reportedly caught in an uncompleted building with the woman.
Following the arrest, Umar Namadi, Governor of Jigawa State, suspended
Sankara as a precautionary measure to enable a fair investigation into the
matter.
Daurawa explained that Sankara was granted bail after his arrest, with
the condition that he would appear before the Hisbah command whenever
requested. However, Sankara did not attend a scheduled reconciliation meeting
on Monday, prompting Hisbah to declare him wanted.
"The reason we invited him today was for reconciliation,"
Daurawa told journalists in Kano. "The complainant agreed to reconcile
with Sankara due to his two children. We agreed to this and invited him to come
for the reconciliation."
Daurawa added that if Sankara had appeared, they would have avoided
taking the matter to court. "As Hisbah members, Islam is our guidance, and
it encourages reconciliation. However, by all indications, he does not want
reconciliation, so we will proceed with legal action," he said.
Sankara, meanwhile, has dismissed the allegations as “false, malicious, and baseless” and has vowed to take legal action against those he claims are attempting to damage his reputation.
