She toured self-devised pieces such as ‘Havisham’ with her co-founded theatre company En-root and performed in ‘West Side Story’ and ‘Woyzeck’, and ‘OldBoy’ with FullTilt.

Daniella returned to her hometown Hong Kong to work in film, most notably ‘Drink Tea Ghost Man’ and Chinese TV series ‘Spring in The City’, as a voice over artist dubbing Chinese and Japanese cartoons and film into English and voicing commercials, and as a writer.

Work and a passion for travel took her around the world, to London and then to Amsterdam where she has continued in film and voice work. She is known for her role as the flighty American Ellie in ‘The Conversations’ (Haider Zafar & Marcus Flemmings, 2016), which has one best film in 3 international film festivals and as Sam in the Nigerian-British quirky comedy ‘Mum, Dad Meet Sam’ (Tony Sebastian Ukpo, 2014). It was during this film she was introduced to the Nollywood when the film did a cinema run.



Last year saw the success of The Wedding Party (Kemi Adetiba, 2016) breaking Nigerian box office records, in which she played Deirdre Winston. She is returning to The Wedding Party for the sequel, Destination Dubai as the principle female. The sequel is scheduled for a December 2017 release.





Daniella’s projects are varied and reflect her passion for traveling. ‘The Shell Collector’ (directed by Kevin Tadge) an American-Hong Kong film, will release later in 2017. Other creative projects include an underwater music video (Coldplay Ghost Stories Live Tour), experimental short films such as ‘The other Violence’ (directed by Michael Sewando), playing Elizabeth Bennett in a Hong Kong theatrical reworking of Pride & Prejudice, and many creative writing projects.

DANIELLA DOWN
Daniella specializes in physical and experimental theatre, and she has been involved in numerous original and classic plays and physical adaptations, including ‘Old Boy’- a physical interpretation of Chan-wook Park’s film. She is also a trained voice over artist.

The Wedding party follows the shenanigans that go on during the planning of a wedding in Nigeria. Dunni, a 24 year old art gallery owner and only daughter of her parents, Engineer Bamidele and Mrs Tinuade Coker, is about to marry the love of her life, IT entrepreneur Dozie, the handsome son of Chief Felix and Lady Obianuju Onwuka. The couple took a vow of chastity and are looking forward to a ground -breaking first night together as a married couple. Between matchmaking attempts on the bridal train, a wedding planner on a mission to succeed, the unruly behaviour of some ‘village’ guests much to Tinuade’s horror, Dunni’s uncertainty about her new husband’s faithfulness during the time of their courtship, amidst colourful aso-ebi, eclectic music, small chops, and souvenir drama, we begin to wonder whether Dunni and Dozie will get through their wedding reception unscathed.

WHO IS MARYAM SANDA? | BIOGRAPHY | PROFILE| HISTORY OF WIFE WHO STABBED LATE BILYAMIN MUHAMMED BELLO HUSBAND MARYAM SANDA



A visit to Maryam’s Instagram account showed the account as a private one with “Mrs Bilyamin” as the profile name.

Her display photo on the photo sharing application showed her holding a toddler.

“Be happy with being you. Love your flaws. Own your quirks. And know that you are just as perfect as anyone else, exactly as you are,” Maryam wrote in the Bio section of her Instagram page.

In a telephone interview with our correspondent, spokesman for the FCT Police Command, DSP Anjuguri Manzah confirmed that “an incident of that nature was recorded at Maitama.”

He added that a team of investigators comprising of detectives from the Command’s Criminal Investigation Intelligence Department (CIID) have taken over the case.

“The case has moved from the Maitama division to the Command’s CIID for speedy investigation,” he said. Asked if the suspect, Maryam is in custody, the police spokesman said “someone is in custody.”


It was said that the couple, Bilyaminu and Maryam had a disagreement after the wife saw a text message her husband’s phone, leading her to suspect infidelity.

The couple had a big fight, according to sources, and relatives were called to calm the storm. But later that day, the man was rushed to the hospital by Math his alleged killer. So sad!

This is the timeline of events according to Gidado:

“Today I witnessed the most wicked and shameful display of arrogance in Bilyaminu’s death case. #THREAD”

At about 9 to 10pm last night, tension started to build between Bilyaminu and his wife, Maryam at his residence. Maryam demanded a divorce with the threat of cutting off his manhood.

Ibrahim Aliero, Bilyaminu’s friend (in whose instance the drama started) intervened 4 times to stop Maryam from stabbing her husband.

Ibrahim called Auta (Maryam’s uncle) and Abba (bilyaminu’s cousin) who had left the house moments before the drama started to come and intervene. After a short calm, Maryam broke a bottle of grandnut and attempted to stab Bilyaminu, again.

This time he held both her hands and struggled to take the bottle from her, injuring himself in the process. Unrelenting and wild, she bit his finger. Uncle Auta had arrived this time to calm the situation.

They both committed to uncle Auta to let go of the grievances (at least for the night) After the situation had become calm, Bilyaminu and his friend went to the Phamacy to get his hand treated from the bite he sustained from Maryam.

They later went to the ATM and made a withdrawal to pay up the balance of a spare part for Maryam’s crashed car. By 11pm, Bilyaminu and Ibrahim had gone back to a calm home. Abba (Bilyaminu’s cousin) joined them in the living room.

They stayed till almost midnight and decided to call it a night. When Bilyaminu was seeing them off, he told Ibrahim that “I don’t want to go back until she’s asleep”. They called it a day. Abba and Ibrahim left.

At around 2pm, family members were summoned to Maitama Hospital, where Bilyaminu was laying in a pool of his blood with multiple stabs on his chest, shoulder, a deep cut on his inner thigh, and many bite wounds on his stomach.

Maryam had confessed to stabbing him to the hospital authorities. Maitama Police Station was the next point of call.

At Maitama Station where Maryam was asked to write her statement, story changed. She claimed they got involved in a fight and Bilyaminu sustained injuries from a broken shisha pot.

That she never stabbed or hit him. She was later taken to the FCT command in Garki II for further investigation. The police commissioner instructed that the crime scene should be visited.

That she never stabbed or hit him. She was later taken to the FCT command in Garki II for further investigation. The police commissioner instructed that the crime scene should be visited.

In the midst of this tragedy and confusion, Maryam had the audacity and courage to change her story. More disgusting is her lack of remorse and respect for the victim’s family. Someone who divorced his 1st his wife to to be with you doesn’t deserve this.

#JusticeForBilyaminu SHALL be served by the Almighty Allah on the day of resurrection. May Allah grant Bilyaminu Jannah and bless the life of his 8 months old daughter Sa’adatu.”

Whatever the truth is, a life has been lost. A child has been rendered fatherless and a wife a widow. Lives have been changed forever. Domestic Violence seems to have played a role earlier in the day according to Gidado, but we don’t know if it was responsible for Bilyaminu’s death. We await police investigation.

If you are in a dangerous situation in your relationship, don’t wait a second, Leave to Live!
