Bilyamin Bello, the son of a former Peoples Democratic Party Chairman, Haliru Bello, was on Saturday allegedly stabbed to death by his wife, Maryam Sanda.
Sanda is the daughter of embattled former Aso Savings Bank boss, Hajia Maimuna Aliyu.
The attack, it was gathered, resulted from an allegation of infidelity against Bilyamin by his wife after she saw a text message on his phone.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Maryam stabbed her husband in the neck and chest while he slept in the bedroom at their home in Maitama, Abuja, contrary to initial reports that says he was stabbed 3 times at the back, and multiple times in his private part.
After stabbing him, she was said to have taken him to a hospital where he gave up the ghost.
The couple had a daughter together.
A friend of the deceased, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said before the tragedy, Maryam had bit off part of Bilyamin’s ear, adding that he was treated at a hospital and later returned home.
He was reportedly advised to leave the house for some time, but he refused.
It was further gathered that the deceased was planning to divorce his wife before he was allegedly murdered.
Bilyamin, a real estate developer and businessman, was said to have complained several times about his wife’s violent tendency to some family members and friends.
“Maryam had attacked Bilyamin before the latest incident, which unfortunately led to his death. The two got married about two years ago when the former PDP chairman persuaded his son to marry Maryam. Everyone was shocked by Bilyamin’s death; it was sudden, unexpected and tragic,” a source said.
It was learnt that the deceased had been buried on Sunday.
The Federal Capital Territory Police Command spokesman, Anjuguri Manzah, confirmed the incident, adding that “a female suspect” was in custody.
He added that the case had been taken from the Maitama Divisional Police Station by the state command, noting that investigation had commenced into the homicide.

A former vice president of Nigeria, Dr Alex Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme, has passed on at a London clinic where he was receiving treatment.
A statement issued Monday by the Ekwueme family and signed by his brother and the traditional ruler of Oko community in Anambra State, Igwe Laz Ekwueme, said the former vice president died at about 10:00pm in a London clinic on Sunday, November 19.
The statement read:
“Ekwueme family regrets to announce the peaceful passing away of their patriarch, the former Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Dr Alex Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme GCON.
“The sad event occurred at the London Clinic at 10:00 pm on Sunday 19th November 2017.”
There had been some controversy surrounding the treatment of the former vice president following a press statement from the Nigerian presidency that President Muhammadu Buhari had directed that Dr Ekwueme be flown abroad for treatment. Many observers derided the statement as an attempt to politicise the suffering of the statesman and attract the sympathies of the south-east.
There were subsequently allegations that the government played no role in footing the medical bills of the former vice president and that his entitlements as a former vice president had not been paid his President Buhari assumed office. To counter the allegations, the presidency released images of newly appointed secretary-general of the federation (SGF), Mr Boss Mustapha paying a visit to Ekwueme at the London clinic but not much was said thereafter about paying for the treatment.
Ekwueme was flown abroad Sunday, November 12 in an air ambulance after being hospitalised at Memfys Hospital of Neurosurgery, Enugu, for what the family attributed to a chest infection.
This Day reported, that he collapsed at his Enugu residence and relapsed into coma before being rushed to the hospital where he was initially put on life support. Doctors were said to have advised that he should not be moved abroad until his condition stabilised.

Segun Wire became popular on Social Media after a viral video where he said he wants to become a “Yahoo Boy” when he grows up went viral on Social Media.
Segun who was begging on the streets was then interviewed on the streets, and the video became an instant hit.
An Instagram page @Segun_wire was immediately opened for the young boy, followed by some videos of him doing comedy skits on the page.
Pictures of Segun looking good, in expensive cars, clothes, haircut were also shared on the page, which led many to believe Segun is living well..
A picture of Segun in school uniform came online, with reports claiming he started school…
Now, a social media user, oreinlofty, who stumbled on Segun on the streets begging again, has called out Segun’s purported benefactor, Zlatan, for using the boy just to make money, and abandoning him back to the streets.
“Zlatan IBILE na bastard, so na FAKE LIFE him dey make this boy live for INSTAGRAM???!! I met the innocent boy HOVERING on STREET and his Street friends confirmed it.
Zlatan IBILE is only using the boy for his personal pocket… The poor boy looks dirty and unkempt on STREET.. Begging for common food to eat from people on STREET…
I actually gave him little change from what I’ve got!! I swear this is not fair on the boy and his family, his elder brother looked the same, confirming it that @zlatan_ibile only comes from time to time to carry him away whenever he needs him to make money, money he won’t share with him (segun) at the end.
So if people think this @segun_wire boy is living a live of GLAMOUR I swear you are f*cking mistakes!! Shout out to all those bastards that make people think they are helping the helpless through the social media while in real life, it’s all BULLSHIT”
A quick check on Segun Wire’s Instagram page shows he promoted a lot of singles using the account, and currently has 189,000 followers… But then, the last post made on the account was on 30th of October.

A Nigerian guy has asked in a controversial post why women should study courses like law, pharmacy and medicine, “the truth remains that female education ends in the kitchen”.
Identified as Cleo La Coll on Facebook, he shared the post on a public group, but it’s obvious he did it to get attention.
The original poster is Clifford Chima Odo, an undergraduate of University of Nigeria with very bad command of the English language, but he immediately deleted the post after people called him out. Cleo then proceeded to share the post.
In the post, he went on to say that only male applicants should be allowed into universities while females should study in college of education and polytechnics.
Here’s what he wrote: “I cease to understand the main reason why some girls do study high courses like Law, Medicine, Pharmacy.. etc..
Why are you occupying spaces for innocent young boys like us who need those courses more than as you do?? I don’t know the reasons why they allow girls to study in universities..
University is for male while Polytechnics and College of Education is for females.. Or if you deem it too important you go for educational courses in University not those high courses. Even f you graduate from medicine or law you wouldn’t practice it…. The ugly truth remains that Female education ends in the kitchen.
Are you with me??
Nobody should argue with me, go and argue with your village people… I dey inside the brothel, come and beat me..”

Israel Adeshola, the National President of the association, disclosed this in an interview in Lagos on Sunday.
Adeshola said the operational uniform would bring sanity to the service in the state and the country as a whole.
According to him, the association has started training its members in Lagos State and educating them on the job procedures and attitudinal change while on duty.
“The association has been able to train a reasonable number of conductors on behavioural change.
“We started the registrations and training at Lagos State Drivers Institute for attitudinal and change in orientation of the members toward passengers and traffic rules.
“By January 1, 2018, all our registered members will be in their operational uniforms for proper identification and effective service delivery,” he said.
The president explained that part of the reasons for training its members was to ensure adequate security of passengers and good customer relationship with the people they relate with.
He said that putting on uniforms with identification numbers will ensure accountability and bring sense of responsibility among the members.
Adeshola said that the association was working towards eradicating the menace of using under-age as bus conductors across the country.
He announced that persons from 18 years and above are qualified to join the association.
The president added that any minor found operating as a bus conductor should be arrested.

In some places material didn’t come on time but the election is fair,” Mr. Nwoga said.

Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe is refusing to eat in protest against his confinement, one of his close family members has told MailOnline.
The frail 93-year-old has not accepted any food since Saturday, the source revealed, as he continues to be held under house arrest at his Blue Roof mansion.
Mugabe’s nephew Patrick Zhuwao said on Saturday that Mr Mugabe was ‘willing to die for what is correct’.
A Zanu-PF minister confirmed to MailOnline that Mr Mugabe is also refusing to speak as part of his days-long protest.
‘The old man has been trying a lot of various tricks since last night,’ the minister, who asked not to be named, said. ‘Hunger strikes, making threats and refusing to talk.’
Zimbabwe’s ruling ZANU-PF party held a special meeting on its central committee on Sunday to remove Mugabe as its leader and kick him out, Chris Mutsvangwa, the head of the powerful liberation war veterans said.
Also on Sunday, Mugabe is set to discuss his expected exit with army commander Constantino Chiwenga, who put him under the house arrest that he is protesting with a hunger strike.
Mutsvangwa, who has led the campaign to oust Zimbabwe’s ruler of the last 37 years, said Zanu-PF’s meeting would also reinstate ousted vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa and remove Mugabe’s wife, Grace, as head of the Zanu-PF Women’s League.
‘We are going all the way,’ Mutsvangwa said as he headed into the meeting, adding that Mugabe should just resign and leave the country. ‘He’s trying to bargain for a dignified exit but he should just smell the coffee and gap it.’
Zanu-PF Central Committee members stood and cheered as the official chairing the emergency meeting announced plans to remove Mugabe from his leadership post on Sunday.
Obert Mpofu told the committee that they were meeting with ‘a heavy heart’ because Mugabe had served the country and contributed ‘many memorable achievements’.
But Mpofu said in his opening remarks that Mugabe’s wife ‘and close associates have taken advantage of his frail condition’ to loot national resources. The party will also discuss reinstating recently fired Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The army threatened to let a mob lynch the dictator if he didn’t stand down, MailOnline revealed on Saturday. Now Mugabe has responded by rejecting all food.
‘If he dies under military custody, even by natural causes, then the army will be held responsible by the international community,’ the family member, who asked not to be named, said. ‘That is how the president is trying to put pressure on the army.’
The family member also said that Grace Mugabe was by her husband’s side at the Blue Roof mansion yesterday, and is thought to still be there today.
my friends??Thank you so much and may God give y’all cause to be happy and celebrated???#birthdaydinnerdate#MyDay??#bdaycelebrations#bdayweekend???? @poshesteb @ucheelendu @ifeyinwachukwuka @onyiialexx @benedictjohnson1 @houseoftarati @adanmaluke @cakepriest
