A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on Monday, convicted and sentenced Maryam Sanda to death by hanging for the murder of her husband, Bilyaminu Mohammed Bello.

Bilyaminu, the son of Haliru Mohammed Bello, a former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was stabbed to death with a bottle on the 19th of November, 2017.

Delivering the judgment, Justice Yusuf Halilu held that there was circumstantial evidence coupled with her testimony and statement to the police that she fatally  stabbed her husband to death in Abuja on November 19, 2017.

The judge ordered that she should be remanded in Suleja prison till she exhausts her right of appeal.

“It has been said that thou shall not kill. Whoever kills in cold blood shall die in cold blood,” the judge said.

“Maryam Sanda should reap what she has sown,” he said, adding, “it is blood for blood”.
