Speaking on this, the Sheikh Aminu Daurawa, the Commander General of the board, stated on Monday;

“However, despite being invited today, Sankara refused to comply,” Daurawa said.

“The reason we invited him today was for reconciliation,” Daurawa explained.

“The complainant agreed to reconcile with Sankara due to his two children. We agreed to this and invited him to come for the reconciliation.

“Had he appeared today, we would not have taken him to court tomorrow. As Hisbah members, Islam is our guidance, and it encourages reconciliation. However, by all indications, he doesn’t want reconciliation, so we will proceed with legal action,” he said.

Daurawa also explained some challenges faced during the arrest, adding that some officials got injured.

“Even though we arrested him together with someone’s wife, she even injured five Hisbah personnel with her car while trying to escape from us.

“We have videos and evidence of all this. I called him several times today, and he confirmed that he would come. But later, he switched off his phone. Now he is wanted, and our people will arrest him wherever they see him,” Daurawa added.

After the press conference, the husband of the woman, Nasiru Bulama explained he had wanted a reconciliation due to the children he has with the woman, but since Sankara refused to participate in the reconciliation, they would now proceed to court.
