The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) police command says it is difficult to remand Maryam Sanda who murdered Bilyaminu Bello, son of a former PDP chairman. Sanda reportedly stabbed the victim to death as a result of suspicion that he was cheating on her. The suspect has been arraigned before an FCT high court on a two-count charge. In the charge sheet, Sanda was accused of committing an offence punishable by death.
“That you Mariam Sanda Female, Adult of N0 4 Pakail Close, Wuse 2 Abuja, on or about the at 19/11/2017 at about 0350 hours at Pakail Close, Wuse zone 2, Abuja within the Abuja Judicial Division, did commit the offence of culpable homicide punishable with death.

In that you stabbed one Bilyaminu Bello Halliru, male of N0 4 Pakail close, Wuse zone 2, Abuja by stabbing him on the chest with broken bottle on the neck thereby endangering his life, you thereby committed an offence contrary to section 240 (g) and punishable under section 247 of the Penal Code Law.”
Anjuguri Manzah, police public relations officer in FCT, said though the command had secured an order to detain the suspect for two weeks, it will not be easy because she has a six-month-old baby. Manzah said: “It should also be noted that this present charge is as a result of preliminary findings. At the end of the investigation, additional findings will determine whether the current charge will be amended,” he said
Meanwhile, Mohammed Bello Shagari, the grandson of former President Shehu Shagari, has weighed in on the death of Bilyamin Muhammed Bello, son of ex-PDP chairman in the hands of his wife, Maryam Sanda. Shagari said, “Only a heartless person can stand to defend Maryam who stabbed her husband thrice to death. And only a foolish person would think that the world would believe it was a fight. And only a heartless person would say he deserved death for whatever reason.
“For those who are also trying to say that it was a drug influence. Even the worse enemy of Bilya knows it is a bad argument to be brought forth. Because Bilya does not smoke cigarette which some of our fathers and mothers smoke decently. Yes, he smokes shisha like most of your children, brothers and sisters. And shisha is not toxic. Perhaps, it is something else. The husband killer too is not known for drugs. She’s simply a spoiled brat who thought she can get away with anything including murder. She reportedly said he deserved what he got. And finally, anybody defending the actions of that dark soul woman is capable of doing the same.”
