Jigawa Commissioner Denies Affair Allegations

Legal Action Threatened by Jigawa Commissioner Over Affair Claims

Auwal Sankara, the Jigawa State Commissioner for Special Duties, has denied allegations of being involved in an illicit affair with a married woman, as claimed by the Kano State Hisbah Board.

Hisbah officials reported that Sankara was arrested in an uncompleted building following a complaint from the woman’s brother-in-law.

Sankara dismissed the accusations as false and politically motivated, stating that he would pursue legal action to protect his reputation from this “malicious” claim.
