Before Maryam Sanda is Killed By Hanging: How Did The Beautiful Love Story Become Tragedy ? | Isah Bala
Love as many have professed it is an unseen wand, stronger than elixir and capable of turning demons to angels. Even, William Shakespeare in his famous "Love Sonnet" referred to love as a 'beauty's rose might never die'.
I've seen love, I've felt love and heard love being professed as a mere rendition of words and I've seen love in its full practicality. I've seen unimaginable things done in the name of love, and I've seen and watched people paying the ultimate sacrifice for love and being killed by the one they swore to spend the rest of their lives with.
One of those beautiful, romantic yet ugly story of love is that of
Bilyaminu Bello and and Maryam Sanda.
The beautiful beginning of the young couple whose multimillion naira wedding was said to be one of the best was soon cut short in a horror turn of event and the beautiful beginning was cut in the nip of mariticide.
Bilyaminu Bello who died at the age of 35 was the son of Haliru Bello, a former chairman of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).
What we may not know is that Bilyaminu's father was not just the former chairman of PDP, he 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.
Maryam Sanda on the other hand is from the famous Sanda's family, Maryam is the daughter of Hajia Maimuna Aliyu, former Aso Saving Bank executive. Remember Hajia Maimuna Aliyu
was a top shot in the Aso Savings and Loans bank, she was the one that wrote series of petitions that exposed Tunde Ayeni's multi-billion fraud that led his arrest and detained by the by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Their coming together and their wedding was no doubt a unification of the children of crème de la crème of the society and one wouldn't wonder why their wedding was given such a blare and attended by the movers and shakers of the society.
But what went wrong that turned their beautiful beginning into a tragedy that Maryam had to kill her beloved heartthrob in November 19, 2017 as the best revenge?
Bilyaminu may not be alive to explain what went wrong with Maryam, but his friend, Ibrahim Mohammed had told the court that Maryam attempted to stab the deceased multiple times on the night of November 18, 2017 and threatened on numerous occasions to cut off the manhood of the deceased unless she was divorced that night. He said, he tried his best to make peace between them before he left, only to be called around 1:00 a.m. on November 19 that Maryam had killed her husband.
Whether this is true, we can't say and we may not judge but what is clear to us as human is that Maryam stabbed her beloved husband because of feud. Bilyamiu died with his ambition, his plans for his family and had to pay the ultimate prize for love.
Whilst still nursing their only daughter, Maryam was arrested and first appeared in court on December 7, 2017 with her baby.
What we may not know is that Maryam tried to cover every possible evidence of the murder and the Nigeria Police arrested
Maryam’s mother, Hajia Maimuna Aliyu; brother, Aliyu Sanda and house maid, Sadiya Aminu, who were accused by police of assisting Maryam to conceal the evidence by cleaning the scene of the crime and the same Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Yusuf Halilu who sentenced Maryam to death by hanging discharged and acquitted her family and the maid on April 4, 2019 on the ground that they were not supposed to be linked to the action of Maryam.
Like the age long axion holds, Justice is blind and is not a friend to anybody, after three years of trial, Justice Yusuf Halilu of the Federal High Court ruled that Maryam is guilty of killing her husband, she could not prove beyond any reasonable doubt as the last person with her husband how he was killed if she wasn't the one and thereby sent her to death by hanging until she dies.
As I watched the video clip which I will advise you to watch as well on this post, I saw regret, agony, confusion and a soul begging with utmost sincerity for a second chance when she uttered all the Arabic words and the verses of Quran she can remember but it was damn too late.
In the court room, Maryam ran back and forth, she ran towards her family members and quickly get loosed and ran towards her lawyer but they could only console her and helped her cry, it was damn too late to upturn the wrath of the law.
Maryam saw the reality, she met the obvious truth that despite her family's influence she is not only going to die to pay for her inability to control her anger but will pass through the excruciating pain of being killed by hanging. She knew she will have to leave their only daughter to suffer for her wrong action, her world fell apart and she attempted to flee from the court but was quickly grabbed by the fierce looking securities who whisked her away in prison van to pay for her action.
It was a tough three years of emotional struggle and regret for Maryam, it was a tough and rough three years for Maryam's family and Bilyaminu's family, but at the end Bilyaminu's family won the battle and Maryam's family will also feel the pain of burying their daughter and the two family will end the beautiful relationship in such a horror way of paying tit for tat while the innocent girl will be left to suffer for a crime she knows not.
As Maryam prepares and waiting for her painful death to come, the Sanda's will have to live with the blunt truth that sooner or later they will be discriminated and their daughters will be rejected with the African mentality that 'their girls are husband killers'. This is one wrong action with too many wrong results and resultant effects.
This singular reason is one of the reasons divorce is hated in Islam but accepted if it's the last option, instead of killing your partner please end the marriage if it's the only option available.
Howbeit, we must learn to have control of our anger and emotion before regretting the steps we take out of anger.
