Hisbah Official Clears Suspended Jigawa Commissioner Of Extramarital Affairs

An official of the Kano State Hisbah Command in charge of Yankaba area, Malam Aliyu Usman has renounced the social media report claiming that the suspended Jigawa State’s Commissioner of Special Duties, Hon Auwal Sankara confessed to having illicit affairs with a married woman.

Usman who was making clarification over the case relating to the reported audio message, described the viral audio message as fake.

He said the Command only received complaint from the husband of the woman accused in the case, but that upon investigation, officials of the Command discovered that she was inside a car while the owner of the house, Sankara, was walking towards the gate of the house together with gateman.

“I am a junior officer, I have no right to talk, reveal or give report to any person with regards to our operation except our Oga (boss), Malam Mujahid. So, I wonder from where the audio clip credited to me came from,” he said.

Speaking on the matter, the lawyer to the accused woman, Barrister Rabiu Abdullahi said, the case was brought before the court where his client was the second defendant.
