The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, had in January found Maryam Sanda guilty of killing her husband, Bilyaminu Bello and subsequently sentenced her to death by hanging.

The court of appeal sitting in Abuja has affirmed the death sentence imposed on Maryam Sanda over the death of Bilyamin Mohammed Bello, her husband.

The federal government had arraigned Sanda and three others on a two-count charge bordering on culpable homicide.

She was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging on January 27, 2020, by Yusuf Halilu, the trial judge.

“She should reap what she has sown, for it has been said that ‘thou shall not kill’ and whoever kills in cold blood deserves death as his own reward,” Halilu said.

“Convict also clearly deserves to die, accordingly I hereby sentence Maryam Sanda to death by hanging until she dies.”

Aggrieved by the death sentence, Sanda approached the appellate court seeking to upturn the trial court’s judgment.

In a notice of appeal predicated on 20 grounds, the appellant through her legal team described the judgment of the trial court as “a miscarriage of justice”.

She submitted that the judge relied on circumstantial evidence as there was “lack of confessional statement, absence of murder weapon, lack of corroboration of evidence by two or more witnesses and lack of autopsy report to determine the true cause of her husband’s death.”

She also submitted the trial judge “erred and misdirected himself by usurping the role of the police when he assumed the duty of an investigating police officer (IPO) as contained in page 76 of his judgment…”

But on Friday, the appellate court upheld the death sentence.

Anger is bad! Her story has become a lesson to everyone. Despite all the riches and affluence, see how her life has ended. #sad

Well RIP in advance
Pity her family

Hmm

Oh this woman, funny thing is I thought they executed her already though
Any which way I wish her peaceful transition to the After life
Atleast she will get to see her hubby there and who knows they might reconcile and continue their love story

wow I cry for africa

No rest for the wicked

Na to go supreme court remain, I dey pity d woman especially her little baby, how u Wan take explain give her
Everybody should learn how to control or calm their temper
Fear woman
One was cheating with a married man, one killed him

I know it from the first day that there will be no escape route for this woman, her late husband was a son to one of the dubious politicians who may go at all costs to find justice for his late son even to bribe the judiciary with money and juicy promotion.

I wish her well

Simple advise to men.

1. Know how temperamental a woman is before making her a wife and mother to your kids.

2. If you can't run away, Kill the enemy before it kills you

Its the kids I pity most ...it's just a messy case
