Why married woman was arrested at an uncompleted building with Jigawa commissioner – Hisbah
Hisbah official, Malam Aliyu Dakata, has said there is no evidence of any illicit relationship between the Commissioner for Special Duties in Jigawa State, Auwal Danladi Sankara and a married woman, Tasleem Baba Nabegu, arrested at an uncompleted building.
The official, while speaking to journalists on 22nd October, said Sankara was not involved in any immoral act.
“When we arrived at the scene, we found Tasleem in her car making a phone call, while Sankara was standing in the compound of the building under construction that belongs to him.
“There was no evidence of any illicit relationship,” Dakata stated contradicting the earlier narrative that had spread across social media.
Reports of the allegation had portrayed Sankara in a negative light and generated a media storm, leading to Sankara’s suspension by the Jigawa State governor.
Earlier on Tuesday, the counsel to the married woman, Tasleem, Barrister Rabiu Shuaibu, explained that Tasleem has been estranged from her husband for months due to domestic violence.
“Tasleem has been separated from her husband for over 10 months and is running a business to support her children.

“On the day in question, she was delivering food to Sankara, who had placed an order, unaware that her husband was tracking her movements,” Shuaibu explained.
Also, responding to the initial allegations, Sankara had condemned the claims as baseless and politically motivated.
“These allegations are entirely false and malicious. I have the utmost respect for the institution of marriage and would never engage in such behaviour. This is a deliberate attempt to tarnish my reputation,” he said.
