Auwal Danladi Sankara, the Jigawa State Commissioner for Special Duties, has reflected on his experiences, stating that they reminded him that no one is above being tested by Allah SWT.
Gatekeepers News reports that he was accused of having an affair with a married woman in an uncompleted building. This situation prompted controversy and led to his suspension by the Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi, pending the outcome of an investigation by the Assistant Inspector General (AIG) of Police Zone 1 and the judgment of the Shari’a court.
However, the Kano State Upper Sharia Court acquitted and discharged him based on the police report, as the complainant failed to provide sufficient evidence to support the allegations. Consequently, the court struck out the case. Following this judgment, Governor Namadi reinstated the suspended commissioner.
In a statement responding to allegations against him, he said the incident has instilled in him a deeper sense of humility and dedication to his role as a public servant.
According to the statement, “I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to His Excellency, Governor Umar A. Namadi, for reinstating me to my position as the Commissioner of Special Duties of Jigawa State. I am truly thankful for your unwavering support and confidence during this challenging period.
“I also extend my sincere appreciation to my family, friends, and well-wishers who stood by me, offered their love, and prayed for my vindication. Your support has been invaluable, and I am deeply grateful for your belief in my integrity.
“I thank Allah SWT for granting me justice and clearing my name. This trial has reminded me that no one is above being tested by Allah SWT, and it has instilled in me a deeper sense of humility and dedication to my role as a public servant.
“I am committed to serving my community with renewed vigor and mindfulness, ensuring that I remain cautious in my duties moving forward.”
