A’Court Upholds Maryam Sanda’s Death Sentence
The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has upheld the death sentence handed a mother of one, Maryam Sanda.
She was convicted for murdering her husband, Bilyaminu Bello, a cousin of former Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Haliru Bello.
A three-man panel of the court, in a judgment on Friday afternoon, dismissed Sandra’s appeal for lacking in merit.
She was earlier this year, by a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Maitama, convicted for murder and ordered to be hanged.
