The governor Jigawa State, Umar Namadi, has approved the immediate suspension of Auwalu Dalladi Sankara as commissioner of Special Duties and member of the State Executive Council pending an investigation into allegations made by the Kano State Hisbah.
DAILY NIGERIAN reports that the commissioner was arrested by Hisbah operatives with a married woman in an uncompleted building in Kano.
A statement signed by the Secretary to the Government of Jigawa State, Bala Ibrahim, said the decision comes in light of recent claims that necessitate a thorough examination to ensure transparency and uphold the integrity of the state administration.

“The suspension is a precautionary measure intended to facilitate a fair investigation,” said the Secretary to the State Government.
“We take all allegations seriously and are dedicated to upholding the trust of Jigawa citizens in the government.”
