Maryam Sanda who allegedly stabbed her husband to death at their
home in Abuja was arraigned in court. She was charged with the offense bordering
on culpable homicide.
She could not control her emotions as she burst with tears
while entering the court room with her 6 months old baby. She was covering her
face with a green scarf to avoid been photographed by the media.
Surprisingly when the two count charges of homicide were read
she pledged not guilty. The defence counsel, Hussein Musa said that the
defendant will be in police custody since she is still a nursing mother stating
that it will be improper to be remanded in prison.
Yusuf Halilu
Maryam, The presiding judge objected to Maryam's counsel's suggestion and ruled

7th for further hearing.
