The Kano Upper Shari’a Court has dismissed the case against Auwal Danladi Sankara, the suspended Jigawa Commissioner for Special Duties, who was accused of enticing a married woman, Tasleem Baba Nabegu.
Presiding Judge Ibrahim Sarki Yola terminated the case due to lack of evidence, as reported by the AIG Zone, Kano, and Kano Attorney General.
In his ruling, Mallam Sarki Yola upheld that the decision to terminate the case follows a thorough examination by the AIG Zone, Kano, and Kano Attorney General, which found no evidence to support the allegations of illicit affairs between Sankara and Nabegu.
He added that the police report as well as the Kano State Attorney General submission revealed that the allegations against the duo were not substantiated and proven, he accordingly terminated the case.
He relied on section 211 of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended and 364 sub 5 of ACJL 2019.
Nasir Buba was neither represented nor attended the court session.
The Judge added, “there is no need for me to hear a response from the complainant since my action to terminate this case is based on the report of the AIG investigation and Kano AG tendered before the court” Mallam Sarki Yola averred.
He accordingly cautioned Hisbah Officials and other law enforcement agencies to be professional while discharging their Constitutional mandate.
He called on them to avoid action tend to defame public character.
