The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Jabi, on Thursday dismissed the bail application filed by Maryam Sanda, who is being prosecuted for allegedly stabbing her husband, Bilyamin Bello, to death, on November 19.

But the court granted bail to her mother,  Maimuna Aliyu; brother, Aliyu Sanda; and another person, Sadiya Aminu, the three co-defendants with whom the prime suspect was re-arraigned on Thursday.

In the amended two counts preferred against the four of them, Maryam is accused in the first count of committing culpable homicide punishable by death under section 221 of the Penal Code Act.

She was accused of causing the death of her husband, Bilyamin Bello, who was said to be a son of a former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Haliru Bello “by stabbing him on the chest and other parts of the body with a knife and other dangerous weapons which eventually led to his death.”

She allegedly stabbed the deceased at their residence at 4, Pakali Close, Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, on November 19, 2017, “with the knowledge that his death would be the probable and not only the likely consequence of your act”.
