It’s interesting how there are so many people serving time in prison for a crime they didn’t commit but our President decided to grant presidential pardon to a woman who was proven to have killed her husband just because she saw a naked woman photo on his phone.
Maryam Sanda was sentenced to death in 2020 for killing her husband in 2017 Bilyaminu Bello at their home in Abuja after finding a n**e photo of another woman on his phone.
She was proven to have stabbed him to death before calling her mother and brother who helped her clean the crime scene and set it up to suit her story that claimed he fell on a broken bottle of sh**ha during their argument, what she failed to realize was that, people who came to their home right after the incident spotted the sh**ha bottle intact and unbroken which clearly mean’t that it was only broken and set up after her Aminus death.
Just barely 6 years in prison, the president of Nigeria granted her clemency and freedom because he believes she is a changed woman who has two young children to take care of. (check comment for video)
Many Nigerians are not happy with this news, citing a play of privilege and asking, if the reverse had been the case would the man had been pardoned? And what about the multiple people serving time for a crime they didn’t commit all because of poor investigation and access to fair legal representation?
