[Enioluwa Adeniyi]

The suspended Jigawa State Commissioner for Special Duties, Mr. Auwal Sankara, is set to be arraigned in a Kano court today following allegations of infidelity.​

This development was confirmed by the Director-General of the Hisbah Commission in Kano, Mr. Abba Sufi, during a press briefing on Sunday.

Sankara was reportedly apprehended by Hisbah operatives while allegedly in an uncompleted building with a married woman.

However, the commissioner has vehemently denied the allegations, labeling the reports as mischief aimed at damaging his political career.

In response to the serious nature of the allegations, Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi, has formed a five-member committee to investigate the claims against Sankara.

The committee will be chaired by the Secretary to the State Government, Malam Bala Ibrahim, and will include the Commissioners for Information, Basic Education, and the Special Adviser on Security Matters.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Malam Ibrahim emphasized the significance of the allegations, stating that they have caused considerable embarrassment to the government.

He explained that the media coverage surrounding the issue has led to a degradation of the state’s reputation, prompting the government to take decisive action.

“To ensure transparency and maintain the integrity of the state, the government is compelled to set up a committee to investigate the allegations,” Ibrahim said.

As part of the investigation process, the Jigawa State government has suspended Sankara to facilitate a thorough examination of the matter.

The committee is expected to submit its findings within two weeks, as the state seeks to address the concerns raised by the allegations and restore public trust.

In a statement on Saturday, Ibrahim, said “The decision comes in light of recent claims that necessitate a thorough examination to ensure transparency and uphold the integrity of the State Administration.

“The suspension is a precautionary measure intended to facilitate a fair investigation. We take all allegations seriously and are dedicated to upholding the trust of Jigawa citizens in the government.”
