The arrest was made following a complaint lodged by the woman’s husband, who accused the commissioner of having an affair with his wife.

“(He) filed the complaint with the Kano State Police Command, the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Hisbah Board, alleging (commissioner’s) involvement in illicit sexual activities with his wife,” the official explained.

Sufi further noted, “We have been having problems with (the suspect) because he is operating illicit drug centres in the names of hotels with prostitution and drug addiction activities.”
