According to the Hisbah, a Sharia police force, Sankara was caught in the act with the married woman in an uncompleted building he owns.

According to Hisbah, Sankara is scheduled to be prosecuted on Monday in a court of law.
The arrest was initiated after Nasiru Bulama, the woman’s husband, filed a complaint, accusing Sankara of having an illicit affair with his wife, Tasleem Baba Nabegu, who is the mother of his two children.
