As reported by Daily Trust, the presiding judge, Ibrahim Sarki Yola, said allegations against prominent individuals must be handled with care.

The judge noted that it is important to avoid unnecessarily tarnishing the reputations of innocent individuals.

“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.”

Sarki Yola concluded that he had no choice but to strike out the case since the complainant and his lawyers were not present to challenge the police’ submission.

The counsel to the commissioner, Barrister Sadam Suleiman, said:

“We have always maintained that our client is innocent. The court has affirmed this by clearing his name based on the police investigation.”
