Operatives from the Kano State Hisbah command, commonly known as the Sharia Police, have arrested Auwal Danladi Sankara, the Commissioner of Special Duties in Jigawa State, for allegedly engaging in adultery with a married woman.
An Hisbah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, revealed that the Commissioner was apprehended after a complaint was filed by the woman’s husband, Nasir Bulama, a resident of Kano.
The source added that the operatives acted swiftly, conducting thorough surveillance before making the arrest.
According to the source, “The husband, Nasir Bulama told us that he is suspecting the commissioner of having an affair with his wife and mother of his two children.
“We launched a surveillance exercise and Thursday night we caught them after they entered an uncompleted building belonging to the commissioner. After our operatives knocked at the door, he came out with his gateman asking who was it while she was sitting inside the vehicle.
“Upon seeing our operatives and her husband, she switched on the car and attempted to break away and run which in the process she hit the wall and drove back, hitting the gate also.
“After the attempt to run and subsequent damaging of the vehicle, she then met two other vehicles blocking the way that necessitated her to stop.
“The commissioner had confessed to have had an affair with the woman at least three times,” the source said.
