Jigawa Commissioner Denies Allegations Of Adultery, Threatens Legal Action

Kano, THE NEWSHAUS – A heated controversy erupted yesterday after the Kano Hisbah Board alleged the arrest of Jigawa State Commissioner for Special Duties, Alhaji Auwal Danladi Sankara, for engaging in illicit affairs with a married woman.

The Hisbah Board, a moral police force in Kano, claimed its operatives apprehended Sankara in an unfinished building he owns, alongside a married woman, under “suspicious circumstances.”

However, Sankara vehemently refuted the claims, calling them “entirely false, baseless, and malicious” in a statement released to the press.

He asserted that the accusations were intended to damage his reputation and were a product of “certain political elements.”

Sankara maintained his commitment to the sanctity of marriage, stating that he “would never engage in actions that violate its sanctity” as a married man.

He further declared his intention to pursue legal action against those responsible for spreading the false information.

The incident has sparked significant public debate in Kano and Jigawa, highlighting the sensitive nature of moral policing and the potential for misuse of authority.

While the Hisbah Board claims to be upholding Islamic values, critics argue that its actions can be intrusive and violate individual freedoms.

The veracity of the accusations remains under dispute. Both Sankara and the Hisbah Board have provided contrasting accounts, leaving the public to wait for further developments and potential legal proceedings.

This incident is likely to continue to generate attention and raise important questions about the role of morality policing in modern society.
