The Kano State Hisbah Board has declared Auwal Sankara, the suspended Jigawa Commissioner of Special Duties, wanted for failing to attend a scheduled reconciliation meeting.
The Commander General of the Board, Sheikh Aminu Daurawa, made the announcement during a press briefing, stating that Sankara violated the terms of his bail by not appearing as required.
“Sankara was granted bail on the condition that he would present himself before the board whenever summoned. However, despite being invited today, he refused to comply,” Daurawa explained.
The purpose of the reconciliation meeting was to mediate a resolution between Sankara and Nasiru Bulama, the complainant, over their shared responsibility for two children.
Daurawa indicated that Hisbah’s goal was to settle the matter amicably without resorting to legal proceedings.
“We had agreed on reconciliation, and if he had appeared today, there would have been no need to take him to court. But by all indications, he has no interest in resolving this matter, so we will proceed with legal action,” Daurawa added.
The situation originated from a controversial incident where Sankara and a woman were arrested together.
During the incident, the woman allegedly injured five Hisbah personnel while trying to escape in her car.
According to Daurawa, the board possesses video evidence of the incident.
“I personally called him several times today, and he promised to come. But later, he switched off his phone. He is now declared wanted, and our operatives will arrest him wherever he is found,” Daurawa stated.
Nasiru Bulama, the complainant, who shares two male children with the woman involved, expressed his willingness to reconcile for the sake of his children.
However, following Sankara’s refusal to attend the meeting, Bulama said the matter would now be settled in court.
