Maryam Sanda, the woman who
allegedly killed her husband, Bilyamin Bello, on Monday told the Federal High
Court in Abuja that she was three months pregnant.
Maryam, who is the daughter of
Maimuna Aliyu, a former Aso Savings Bank executive, was arraigned by the police
for alleged killing of son of a former PDP Chairman, Mohammed Bello.
Maryam prayed the courtt to
reconsider an earlier application she filed to be released on bail pending the
determination of the murder charge against her.
Maryam’s counsel, Joseph Daudu,
SAN, pleaded with the court to give his client a soft landing for her to seek
proper medical attention at this early stage of her pregnancy.
He argued that that the police
failed to get the consent of the Director of Public Prosecution, DPP, before
filing the case.
The Police through its lawyer,
Mr. James Idachaba, rejected Maryam’s fresh bail application, saying there was
insufficient evidence before the court to prove that she is indeed three months
pregnant.
The chief Justice Halilu,
however, adjourned the matter till Wednesday to decide whether or not the
defendant should be released on bail based on her pregnancy claim.
