Husband killer Mrs Sanda tells court she is three months pregnant

Maryam Sanda, who was remanded in prison custody for allegedly killing her husband who is the son of former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bilyamin Bello, on Monday, told the trial court that she is three months pregnant.

The alleged ‘killer wife’ begged trial Justice Yusuf Halilu of the Abuja High Court sitting at Jabi to reconsider an earlier application she filed to be released on bail pending the determination of the murder charge against her.

Maryam’s lawyer, Mr. Joseph Daudu, SAN, urged the court to take pity on her client who he said would require proper medical attention at this early stage of her pregnancy.


The judge however adjourned the matter till Wednesday to decide whether or not the defendant should be released on bail based on her pregnancy claim.

Recall Maryam and her late husband had an argument and she allegedly stabbed him to death. Do you think she should be granted bail?
