**Jigawa State Executive Council Member Suspended Over Alleged Affair With Married Woman in Kano**
A statement signed by the Jigawa State Head of Service, Bala Ibrahim, revealed that the governor approved the suspension with immediate effect. The suspension is to allow for a thorough investigation of the allegation and to preserve the integrity of the state administration.
The state’s commitment to accountability and upholding ethical standards in governance was underscored by Ibrahim on behalf of the Namadi administration.
“The suspension is a precautionary measure to facilitate a fair investigation. We take all allegations seriously and are committed to maintaining the confidence of the citizens of Jigawa in the government,” he said.
It was reported that Mr. Sankara, a member of the Jigawa State Executive Council, was arrested by Hisbah officials in Kano on Thursday, in a building under construction in the company of a married woman.
The woman’s husband reportedly reported a case to the state security services earlier that he suspected an illicit relationship between his wife and the commissioner.
The Director General of the Hisbah Commission in Kano, Malam Abba Sufi, reportedly confirmed that Sankara was arrested by officials of the agency, according to media reports.
This case raises questions about the ethical conduct of politicians and public officials. Integrity and transparency are essential to inspire citizens’ trust in a government.
It is crucial that such allegations are thoroughly and impartially investigated to ensure that justice is done and ethical standards are upheld.
As citizens and voters, it is our responsibility to remain vigilant and ensure that our political representatives act ethically and abide by the rules and laws in force.
This situation underscores the importance of ethics in governance and highlights the need for politicians to lead by example and respect the fundamental values of society.
It is now imperative for the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough, transparent and fair investigation to shed light on this matter and ensure that public trust in government institutions is preserved.
