A
family friend, Habib Gaiam Aka Gidado revealed what transpired before,
during and after Bilyami Mohammed Bello was killed by his wife.
Bilyami, the son of former PDP chairman, Bello Haliru Mohammed, was
stabbed to death by his wife, Maryam Sanda in the early hours of Sunday,
November 19.
Gidado also revealed that late Bilyami was previously married to another woman, who he divorced to be with Maryam.
Today I witnessed the most wicked and shameful display of arrogance in Bilyaminu’s death case.
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, but 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 Pharmacy 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 Sunday afternoon, 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. To the amazement of Abba (Bilyaminu’s cousin) and
Ibrahim (his friend) who are key witnesses in the investigation.
Bloodstains had been mopped up, murder weapon disappeared, but
flower vases and shisha pot were broken to corroborate Maryam’s earlier
statement at the station. 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.”
