An Abuja High Court sitting at Maitama, on Monday, convicted and sentenced Maryam Sanda, daughter-inlaw to a former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Mohammed Bello Haliru, to death by hanging.
Maryam was found guilty of stabbing her husband, Bilyamin Bello, who was a real estate developer, to death in 2017.
Justice Yusuf Halilu held that circumstantial evidence before the court, as well as Maryam’s testimony during the trial and her statement before the police, established that she fatally stabbed her husband to death in Abuja on November 19, 2017.
The court ordered that the convict should remain at the Correctional Center in Suleja till she exhausts her right of appeal.
