An FCT High Court on Monday sentenced Maryam Sanda, the woman who stabbed her husband to death, Bilyaminu, son of a former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Haliru Bello, to death by hanging. The evidence of the convict was unreliable and circumstantial evidence is used in the place of eye witness account. “I am convinced that the defendant stabbed the deceased and therefore guilty of charges against her. “Accordingly, I hereby sentence Maryam Sanda to death by hanging. “Sanda should be remanded in Suleja Correctional Centre until the convict exhausts her right of appeal in the court of appeal,’’ Halilu said.
