    Court Clears Jigawa Commissioner of Adultery Charges

    An Upper Sharia Court in Kano has acquitted Hon. Auwalu Dalladi Sankara, the Jigawa State Commissioner for Special Duties, of charges of adultery brought against him.

    The presiding judge, Khadi Ibrahim Sarki Yola, dismissed the case, citing a lack of substantial evidence from the complainant, Nasiru Buba Jalam, who had accused the commissioner of having an illicit affair with his wife, Taslim Baba Nabegu.

    “This case lacks merit and any credible evidence to proceed. Therefore, the case is hereby struck out, and both defendants are discharged,” the judge ruled.
    The case had stemmed from a complaint filed by Nasiru Buba Jalam in October, in which he accused his wife and Hon. Sankara of engaging in an affair. Following the accusation, the Kano Hisbah apprehended the commissioner at his home.
    The court had earlier instructed the Inspector General of Police to investigate the matter and submit a report for review.
    After the judgment, Barrister Rabiu Shuaibu Abdullahi, representing the first defendant, Taslim Baba Nabegu, expressed satisfaction with the court’s ruling, stating that the judgment reflected justice.
    Barrister Saddam Suleiman Shehu, representing Hon. Sankara, also welcomed the outcome, affirming that the court’s decision vindicated his client. He added, “We are reviewing the judgment, along with the possible political factors involved, for further steps.”

    Hon. Sankara, who was suspended from his position as Commissioner to allow the court process to unfold without interference, was cleared of all allegations by the court.

    The case, which attracted significant attention in the state, now appears to be over, though its political undertones remain a point of discussion.
