Kano Man who accused commissioner of affair with wife rejects Sharia court judgment

Auwal danladi sankara

Nasiru Buba, the man who accused Jigawa Commissioner for Special Duties, Auwal Danladi Sankara, of having illicit affair with his wife, has rejected the verdict of the Sharia Court which absolved the politician of wrongdoing.

Daily Trust had reported that a Kano Upper Shari’a Cour dismissed the adultery case against Sankara, saying it could not be proven.

While dismissing the case, the Presiding judge, Ibrahim Sarki Yola, said he struck out the case due to lack of evidence, emphasising that police investigated and found nothing against the commissioner.

“Following the investigation by the office of the Assistant Inspector General of Police, the report shows there is no evidence to prove that there was any illicit affair between Auwal Danladi Sankara and Tasleem Baba Nabegu.”

“Since the complainant and his lawyers are not present to challenge the submission by the police, I have no choice but to strike out the case,” the judge held.

But reacting to the development during an interactive session with journalists in Kano, Buba expressed dissatisfaction with the court ruling, saying he presented hundreds of verifiable evidence to prove his case.

Buba said he presented string evidence to the police, including 854 pictures, over 100 video clips, over 200 WhatsApp voice notes and over 500 hours of call records.

“Most of these evidences I got them through my wife, Tasleem. If the court cleared them, they are not cleared in the eyes of God and the eyes of people who know the truth about the situation. I leave everything to Allah and he will be the judge, Insha Allah.” Buba said.

His lawyer, Rabi’u Sidi, said they were not informed of Monday’s sitting so they could not make it to the court.

He said, “We are a very important and necessary party to this case, despite this nobody communicated with us, nobody told us that there will be any sitting in the court, we just heard the ruling in the news.”

Sidi noted that the legal team would meet to decide the next line of action.

Recall that the Kano state Hisbah board arrested the Commissioner with a married woman at an uncompleted building on August 17, 2024.

The commissioner, however, denied the allegation.

United States grand jury indicts Nigerian Catholic priest on three felony sexual assault charges

Anthony Odiong is accused of sexual assault by at least eight women whom the priest had been counseling Ramon Antonio Vargas The criminal case that authorities are building against a Roman Catholic priest accused of preying on women whom he met while working in south-east Louisiana and Texas is progressing, with a grand jury in the latter state indicting him on three felony sexual assault charges. Anthony Odiong, 55, faces two counts of second-degree sexual assault as well as one of first-degree sexual assault in the charges handed up against him recently in the McLennan county, Texas, state court. The charges against Odiong – who was first arrested in July – involve two women. He could receive up to life imprisonment if convicted of the first-degree charge, a stiffer penalty that stems from the fact that the alleged victim in the case was a woman whom Odiong was prohibited from “marrying or purporting to marry” under Texas law. The second-degree counts each carry up to 20 years in p

Rivers Court Judgment: U.S, UK, EU Asked To Impose Visa Ban On Justice Abdulmalik, Others

(The Whistler)The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has condemned recent Federal High Court judgments and called for visa restrictions on judges allegedly issuing rulings perceived as politically motivated. HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, called on the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union to impose travel restrictions on Justices: John Tsoho, Joyce Abdulmalik, Peter Lifu, James Omotosho, Donatus Uwaezuoke Okorowo, and Emeka Nwite for allegedly delivering politically motivated judgements. The group specifically said Justice Abdulmalik’s recent judgement blocking FAAC allocations to Rivers State amounts to a “constitutional coup” and capable of disrupting Nigeria’s democracy. The Rivers ruling, according to HURIWA, disregards a longstanding Supreme Court principle affirming that statutory allocations to states cannot be withheld by federal authorities. HURIWA insisted that the judgement violates established legal precedence, putti
