Jigawa State Governor Umar Namadi has lifted the suspension on the Commissioner for Special Duties, Auwalu Danladi Sankara.
The decision was with immediate effect, according to a statement signed by the Secretary to the Government of Jigawa State, Malam Bala Ibrahim, on Tuesday.
The SSG’s statement said, “It would be recalled that the commissioner was suspended based on alleged involvement in an incident reported before Kano State Hisbah Board.”
The statement also said the lifting of the suspension followed his discharge and acquittal by an Upper Shariah Court in Kano, Kano State.
Mr Sankara was last month accused of having an illicit affairs with one Tasleem Baba Nabegu, a married woman.
Governor of Namadi suspended the commissioner exactly one month ago on 19 October for allegedly being caught in a compromising position with a married woman.
The commissioner’s suspension was announced in a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Ibrahim.
He said the suspension was made to allow for an investigation into allegations made by the Kano State Hisbah Board.
The Kano Hisbah board claimed that Mr Sankara was arrested in an uncompleted building in the company of a married woman.
The claims by Hisbah necessitated a thorough examination to uphold the integrity of the state administration, Mr Ibrahim explained.
