According to a report by Punch, Maryam stabbed her husband in the neck and chest while he slept in the bedroom at their home in Maitama, Abuja.

After stabbing him, she was said to have taken him to a hospital where he gave up the ghost. A friend of Bello, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said before the tragedy, Maryam had bit off part of Bilyamin’s ear, adding that he was treated at a hospital and later returned home.

He was reportedly advised to leave the house for some time, but he refused. A source close to the family said: “Maryam had attacked Bilyamin before the latest incident, which unfortunately led to his death.

The two got married about two years ago when the former PDP chairman persuaded his son to marry Maryam. Everyone was shocked by Bilyamin’s death; it was sudden, unexpected and tragic."


The Federal Capital Territory Police Command spokesman, Anjuguri Manzah, confirmed the incident, adding that “a female suspect” was in custody. He added that the case had been taken from the Maitama Divisional Police Station by the state command, noting that investigation had commenced into the murder.
