The husband of a married woman, Tasleem, accused of having alleged illicit affairs with a Jigawa State Commissioner for Special Duties, Auwalu Sankara, Nasiru Buba, has appealed to the Jigawa and Kano governors to save his marriage before it collapses......See Full Story>>.....See Full Story>>
To this end, Nasiru Buba appealed to the two governors of Kano and Jigawa States not to yield to pressure mounted on them to interfere in the case in the name of killing it.
Speaking to newsmen Tuesday in Kano, Nasiru Buba expressed concern that the actions of Hisbah and the subsequent redirection of the case to the AIG Zone One office for investigation—where the police have had it in custody for almost two weeks—speak volumes of alleged moves to kill the case.
“Let me say categorically that this case has been with the police in Kano for the last two weeks, and they have effectively investigated it. Hisbah is also aware of the case; therefore, all I need is for the governors of Jigawa and Kano to help me ensure that justice is done in this matter.”
Nasiru Buba, in the same vein, accused the legal counsel of his wife of lying against him, claiming that he had divorced his wife a long time ago and that he has been maltreating her, including firing gunshots in the course of their disagreements.
He said, “This lawyer has seriously lied against me because, in the first place, Tasleem is still my wife, and she lives in my house. In the second place, I don’t have a gun, let alone firing it during our disagreements.”
The husband urged his wife’s counsel to immediately withdraw his allegations against him and put the record straight; otherwise, he will seek redress to clear his name.
He noted in dismay that, “The lawyer lied that I divorced my wife two years ago, but our recent pictures showing myself and her in my house celebrating Eid Kabeer debunk that insinuation. The car she was caught with is also my personal car, which I bought not less than two weeks ago. So what is he talking about?”
