For Bilyamin Muhammed Bello, the slain nephew of a former chairman of PDP, marital life had always been bumpy.
Bilyamin Bello was allegedly stabbed to death by his wife, Maryam Sanda, at the weekend. She was arraigned on Friday on a two-count charge bordering on culpable homicide and remanded in prison custody.

His first marriage to Fakhriyya Ben-Umar, who was then studying in Edinburgh, UK, only lasted for a few months.

Family sources said it was Maryam Sanda who wrecked his first marriage and even composed the text message late Bilyamin sent to Fakhriyya as a notice of their divorce.

Fakhriyya, who is now married, is a Chemical Engineer with Master’s degree in Sustainability Engineering. She is also the CEO and Creative Director of a fashion firm, Mimosa Designs.

DAILY NIGERIAN reliably gathered that Bilyamin only dated Amina Bala Shagari (whose tribute went viral) but they never got married.

Amina Shagari, a divorcee, is a granddaughter to a former Nigerian president, Shehu Shagari.
