The Kano State Upper Shari’a Court has ordered AIG Zone One, Kano, to investigate the suspended Jigawa State Commissioner for Special Duties, Auwalu Danladi Sankara, over allegations of enticing a married woman, Tasleem Baba Nabegu.
The Judge, Ibrahim Sarki Yola, gave the order following a Direct Complaint filed before his court by the Husband to the 1st Defendant Nasir Buba.
Buba prayed the court to order police to conduct an investigation over the alleged relationship between his wife and Auwalu Sankara.
During the court’s session on Tuesday, Counsel to the Complainant, Barrister Haruna Magashi, holding brief for Barrister Sa’id Muhammad Tudun Wada, told the court that they have overwhelming evidences to prove the allegation against the two Defendants, including video clips, pictures, phone conversation and transfer of funds between them among, other evidences.
On his side, counsel to Tasleem Baba Nabegu, Barrister Rabi’u Shuaibu Abdullahi, dismissed all the allegations against his client.
The counsel informed the court that the couple had been separated for over a year, citing allegations of repeated mistreatment and abuse during their time together.
The defendant claimed that his relationship with Tasleem was strictly commercial, as she owned a restaurant and he was merely a customer purchasing food from her
Similarly in his submission, Counsel to Auwalu Danladi Sankara, Barrister Aliyu Usman Hajji, alleged that the issue was politically concocted by the complainant in order to tarnish the image of Sankara being a politician.
