The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, DPS Anjuguri
Manzah, in a chat with newsmen said that the suspect was arrested on Sunday
night.
The Police image maker revealed that the investigation
which was being spear-headed by the homicide department would be concluded soon
and the suspect charged to court. Haliru Bello’s death was not natural, as he
was allegedly killed in his Maitama home in Abuja by his wife,
Maryam Sanda.
Maryam is the daughter of Maimuna Aliyu, former Aso
Saving Bank executive. According to reports, Maryam allegedly killed her
husband on Saturday night, stabbing him several times. Multiple reports online
said she attacked her husband based on allegations of infidelity after seeing a
text message on his phone. Maryam was said to have stabbed Bello, who
would have clocked 36 on November 23, thrice in the back. She also reportedly
stabbed him several times on his manhood. After stabbing him, she drove him to
the hospital for treatment but he did not survive the attack.

the murder : “We are investigating the matter,”he told the Cable. According to
reports, it was not the first time Maryam would attack Bello violently.
She once bit part of his ear off during an argument.
Bello was treated at a hospital before returning home. Some
report said he was advised to leave the house but he refused, only to be
brutally attacked the second time. The couple had a daughter together. Bello’s
father was the acting chairman of the PDP board of trustees from 2015-2016,
minister of defence from 2011-2012, and minister of communications from
2001-2003.
