A Kano State Upper Sharia Court has issued an order directing the police to investigate allegations of adultery against a suspended Jigawa commissioner, Auwal Sankara. This development comes after the court received a petition regarding the commissioner’s alleged involvement in an affair with a married woman.
The allegation had previously caused significant controversy and damaged Sankara’s reputation. However, the Hisbah board in Jigawa had earlier retracted the charges, but the court’s recent directive indicates that the matter is not yet closed.
The police are now mandated to conduct a thorough investigation into the allegations and report back to the court. This move is seen as a step towards ensuring justice and clarity in the matter.
