Sharia police also known as Hisbah has arrested Auwal Danladi Sankara, the Commissioner of Special Duties in Jigawa State, for allegedly committing adultery with a married woman.
The Hisbah Director General, Abba Sufi confirmed the arrest and detention of Danladi Sankara in a statement.
He said, “We have been having problems with Sankara because he is operating illicit drug Centers in the name of Hotels with Prostitution and drug addiction activities”.
Sufi added that they are prosecuting Auwalu Sankara on Monday at a competent Court of Laws.
Auwal Danladi was taken into custody after a Hisbah official who doesn’t want to be quoted said the Commissioner was caught following a complaint lodged before the command and other security outfits by the husband, Nasir Bulama who resides in Kano.
“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.
