The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has obtained CCTV
footage showing the last moments of Bilyaminu Bello, the son of a
former Peoples Democratic Party chairman who was allegedly killed
by his wife, Maryam Sanda.
Our correspondent had reported that Bello was stabbed to death
by his wife over allegations of infidelity after she read a text
message on his phone.
It was learnt that Bello was rejected by two hospitals before he
was finally pronounced dead.
An impeccable police source said the police recovered the CCTV
footage of their residence.
“We have been able to obtain the footage and it shows the
suspect and three private security guards conveying him unto a
vehicle from where he was rushed to a hospital,” he said.
Our correspondent gathered that the security guards had been
arrested by the police.
The Federal Capital Territory police spokesman, Anjuguri Manzah,
said more suspects had been apprehended.
He said, “I know that some suspects have been arrested, but I
don’t know their identity. I can’t confirm that the CCTV footage
has been obtained, but it may be part of evidence gathering to
assist in investigation.”
Meanwhile, a family friend of the victim, Habib Gajam, has
alleged that Sanda threatened to cut off her husband’s private
parts during a quarrel hours before she allegedly stabbed him to
death.
The family friend said in a series of tweets on Twitter that he
witnessed the violent quarrel during which the mother of one
attempted to stab her husband while demanding a divorce.
Gajam explained that Bello’s friend, one Aliero, who was also
present during the scuffle, prevented Sanda from stabbing the
deceased.
He said, “At about 9 to 10pm on Saturday, tension started to
build up between Bilyaminu (Bello) and his wife, Maryam (Sanda) at
his residence.
“Maryam demanded a divorce with the threat of cutting off his
manhood. Aliero, Bilyaminu’s friend in whose presence the drama
started, intervened four times to stop Maryam from stabbing her
husband.”
The witness explained that Ibrahim later called Bello’s uncle,
identified as Auta and one Abba, the victim’s cousin, to prevail on
her.
He said after some time, Sanda broke a bottle and attempted to
stab her husband, but he reportedly struggled to take it from her,
injuring himself in the process.
“After short calm, Maryam (Sanda) broke a bottle of groundnut
and attempted to stab Bilyaminu (Bello) 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 at this time to calm the situation. They
both committed to uncle Auta to let go of their grievances, at
least for the night.
“After the situation had become calm, Bilyaminu and his friend
went to a pharmacy to get his hand treated from the bite he
sustained from Maryam,” he added.
Gajam explained that Bello and Ibrahim later went to withdraw
money from an ATM for the repair of Sanda’s damaged car, noting
that by the time they got back home around 11pm, everywhere was
calm.
Abba and Ibrahim left for their homes around midnight, he
said.
“When Bilyaminu (Bello) was seeing them off, he told Ibrahim
that ‘I don’t want to go back until she’s asleep.’
“At around 2pm on Sunday, family members were summoned to
Maitama Hospital, where Bilyaminu was lying in a pool of blood with
multiple stabs on his chest, shoulder, a deep cut on his inner
thigh, and many bite wounds on his stomach,” he added.
Gajam claimed that Sanda confessed to stabbing her husband to
the hospital management, but added that she changed the story when
she was directed to write a statement at the Maitama Police
Station.
He said, “The police commissioner instructed that the crime
scene should be visited. To the amasement of Abba and Ibrahim, who
were key witnesses in the investigation, the bloodstains had been
mopped up, murder weapon disappeared, but flower vases and pots
were broken to corroborate Maryam’s earlier statement at the
station.”
Gajam said Bello, who divorced his first wife to marry Sanda,
did not deserve to be murdered.
