An FCT High Court in Jabi has refused and dismissed a bail application made on behalf of
Maryam Sanda and ordered that she be returned back to prisons for allegedly
killing her husband, Bilyamin Bello.
The court however
granted bail to Maryam's mother, Maimuna Aliyu, her brother, Aliyu Sanda and
one Sadiya Aminu who were accused of assisting Maryam to clean the blood of
Bilyamin from the crime scene with the intention of screening Maryam from legal
punishment of her action.
Justice Yusuf Halilu
held that the medical report submitted with Maryam's bail application,
notwithstanding, there was nothing placed before the court to suggest that the
ailment she is said to be suffering from was such that cannot be taken care of
in prisons custody.
“I have seen from
where I am that the 1st defendant (Maryam) has not exhibited any symptom of a
life-threatening ailment. She appears very strong while standing in the dock,”
he said.
Earlier upon their
arraignment, they all pleaded not guilty to the two-count charge brought
against them by the Police.
Subsequently, their
counsel, Chief Joseph Daudu (SAN), a former President of the Nigerian Bar
Association (NBA) applied for bail for the four defendants.
Maryam is accused of
killing her husband Bilyamin, a son to former Chairman of People's Democratic
Party (PDP), Alhaji Halliru Bello Muhammad.
