The police has begun a probe into the stabbing to death of Bilyamin Muhammed Bello by his wife, Maryam, in Abuja. Bilyamin is a son of a former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and one-time minister, Dr. Haliru Bello. His wife, who is the suspect, is a daughter of former Aso Savings boss Hajia Maimuna Aliyu who was recently nominated into the board of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
The couple before the weekend tragic incident have a seven month old daughter. According to the spokesperson for the FCT Police Command, Anjuguri Manzah, the command has commenced a probe into the matter and the case has been transferred to the Homicide Section for discreet investigation. The suspect is being detained by the police while the deceased has since been buried yesterday in Abuja.
Maryam was taken to her residence by homicide detectives for a search, fingerprints and forensic investigation. She was saved from being mobbed by angry siblings and relatives of the deceased husband. Clinging to her seven-month old baby girl, Maryam, who looked remorseful, burst into tears after being led into the flat where she allegedly killed her husband. According to sources, the jealous wife was uncomfortable with the text messages her late husband had been receiving from some women.
It was gathered that a particular message from a banker made the wife to attack her husband. The source added: “They were at home when the wife became berserk over some text messages, including one allegedly suspected to be from a female banker. After engaging in a shouting match, the wife was embroiled in fighting with her husband before heading to the kitchen where she picked a knife to stab Bilyamin three times, including on his private parts. Drenched in his own blood, Bilyamin fought hard by crawling out of the couple’s flat to ask for help from neighbours.Upon hearing his distress call, neighbours, who had heard the exchange of words and banging of doors at the flat, ferried Bilyamin to a hospital.
