FAMOUS REPORTERS
The High Court of the Federal C
apital Territory, Abuja, on Monday convicted and sentenced Maryam Sanda to death by hanging for stabbing her husband Bilyaminu Bello, to death, the City Pulse reports.
Justice Yusuf Halilu who delivered the judgement 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 orders that she should be remanded in Suleja prison up until her right of appeal is exhausted.
Famous Reporters gathered from our source that Sanda, the mother of two, her mother and her other relatives broke down in tears immediately the judge pronounced her guilt, whereas her mother, seated at a back seat sped out of the court, wept profusely.
Sanda herself, while crying rushed out of the courtroom which was next to the dock but the judge ordered that she should be brought back to the courtroom.
In the middle of the confusion, the defense lawyer attempted to make a plea for allocutus (plea for mercy) but the judge said he needed to rise for the courtroom to be restored to normalcy.
The judge said he would return to deliver the sentence after some minutes.
When the judge returned from the break, he said the offense for which the convict was convicted being one based on Section 221 of the Penal Code, there would be no room for allocutus.
“It has been said that thous 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.
Meanwhile, Bilyaminu Bello, her deceased husband, according to some reliable sources, was a son or nephew of a former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Haliru Bello.
