Convicted husband killer, Mrs Maryam Sanda will today at the Supreme Court begin a legal battle to save her life from death sentence passed on her by a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory and upheld by the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
The convict, who is a mother of one, was ordered by the high court to be hanged until she dies having been found guilty of killing her husband, Bilyaminu Bello, a cousin of former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Haliru Bello.
Her death sentence by Justice Halilu Yusuf was on December 4, 2020, upheld by the Abuja division of the Court of Appeal in a unanimous judgment delivered by Justice Stephen Ada.
A hearing notice just sighted by Raye24reporters, showed that the Apex Court has slated the appeal by the convict for adjudication before a 5-man panel of Justices.
