Maryam Sanda, who in his court for allegedly stabbing her husband to death, requested for a divorce before his death,
Punch reports.
Sanda and her deceased husband, Bilyamin Bello , had according to the witness been involved in a brawl on the day of Bello’s death.

Sanda had demanded a divorce, the witness, Ibrahim Muhammed said.
Sanda held on to her husband’s cloth, Muhammed said, and promised not to let go until he promised a divorce.
He added that Sanda had attempted to stab Bello with a bottle of groundnut, but had been stopped. He said:

"We were together watching TV and taking Shisha in their sitting room up till 8 pm on the very day Bilyaminu died.
He went upstairs and didn’t return on time. I started hearing noise, later on, Sadiya, came downstair to tell me that Maryam will like to see me.
I climbed up and I saw both of them holding each other clothes. Maryam told me she needed a divorce and that I should help her to tell the husband.
When I realised Maryam doesn’t want to leave the husband, I used my hand to remove her hand from the husband cloth but the fight still continued."

Muhammed added that Bilyamin entered his room, and his wife followed, insisting on a divorce.
He said he then put a call through to relations of the couple, who came to wade into the matter.
One of the relations, Usmam Aliyu , then told him to leave, he said, saying that it wasn’t appropriate to be “too involved” in matters concerning a husband and his wife.
Later on, one Abba-Bello, a bother to Bilyaminu called me and told me that I should come to the Maitama Hospital that Bilyaminu is dead.
I went to the hospital to meet him lying down dead.
