Court Grants Bail To Alleged Husband Killer, Maryam Sanda

Maryam Sanda, the woman who allegedly stabbed her husband to death, was on Wednesday granted bail by a High Court sitting at Jabi in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Maryam had earlier reportedly confessed to stabbing her husband, Bilyaminu Muhammed Bello, multiple times at their Maitama residence over alleged infidelity at their Wuse Zone 2 home in Abuja on November 19.

Bello, who is the foster son of ex-National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Haliru Bello, was reportedly stabbed multiple times on his chest, shoulder, and inner thigh and was with traces of human bites on his stomach.

Trial judge, Justice Yusuf Halilu, granted her bail on health grounds after her counsel, Joesph Daudu, presented a medical report, which confirmed Maryam was pregnant and sick.

The court has on several occasions refused her bail request but had granted bail to Maimuna Aliyu, Sanda’s mother, and her brother who are also on trial.
