Man who accused Jigawa commissioner of having affair with wife rejects Sharia court judgment

Nasiru Buba, the man who accused Jigawa Commissioner for Special Duties, Auwal Danladi Sankara, of having illicit affair with his wife, has rejected the verdict of the Sharia Court which absolved the politician of wrongdoing.

Daily Trust had reported that a Kano Upper Shari’a Cour dismissed the adultery case against Sankara, saying it could not be proven.

While dismissing the case, the Presiding judge, Ibrahim Sarki Yola, said he struck out the case due to lack of evidence, emphasising that police investigated and found nothing against the commissioner.

“Following the investigation by the office of the Assistant Inspector General of Police, the report shows there is no evidence to prove that there was any illicit affair between Auwal Danladi Sankara and Tasleem Baba Nabegu.”

“Since the complainant and his lawyers are not present to challenge the submission by the police, I have no choice but to strike out the case,” the judge held.
