Alleged Adultery: Complainant claims govt interference for Jigawa Commissioner

Nasiru Buba, the complainant in the alleged illicit affairs against Jigawa State Commissioner for Special Duties, Auwalu Danladi Sankara, and a married woman, has alleged undue interference from the Jigawa and Kano state governments.

Buba, the husband of the woman allegedly caught in the act with Sankara at an uncompleted building, is worried that the interference is intended to subvert the cause of justice.

A few days ago, the Kano State Hisbah Board declared that Sankara’s whereabouts cannot be ascertained, two days after he was granted bail from its custody.

Addressing a press conference in Kano, Buba expressed concern that the actions of Hisbah and the subsequent redirection of the case to the AIG Zone One office for investigation by the Shari’a court was a clear attempt to “kill the case.”

The complainer wondered why the case was redirected for investigation after the state command and Hisbah had successfully completed their investigation, insisting he would not accept any infringement to deny him justice.

He similarly accused the legal counsel to his wife of lying against him, claiming that he had divorced his wife a long time ago and that he had been maltreating her, including firing gunshots in the course of their disagreements.

“Let me say categorically that this case has been with the police in Kano for the last two weeks, and they have effectively investigated it. Hisbah is also aware of the case; therefore, all I need is for the governors of Jigawa and Kano to help me ensure that justice is done in this matter.

“This lawyer has seriously lied against me because, in the first place, Tasleem is still my wife, and she lives in my house. In the second place, I don’t have a gun, let alone firing it during our disagreements,” Buba added.

The complainer therefore urged counsel to immediately withdraw the allegations against him and put the record straight; otherwise, he would be left with no option but to seek redress to reclaim his image.
