The family of the late Bilyaminu Bello has condemned the presidential pardon granted to his wife, Maryam Sanda, describing the move as the worst possible injustice any family could be made to go through.
Sanda st@bbed Bilyaminu to d3ath at their Abuja home on November 19, 2017.
She was convicted and sentenced to d3ath by the FCT High Court on January 27, 2020.
President Bola Tinubu approved the release of 175 inmates, including Sanda, serving various jail terms across the country under the Prerogative of Mercy policy, which allows the President to grant clemency on humanitarian grounds.
In a strongly worded statement issued on Monday, October 13, Dr Bello Mohammed, on behalf of the family, said the move has reopened their healing wounds.
"To have Maryam Sanda walk the face of the earth again, free from any blemish for her heinous crime as if she had merely squashed an ant, is the worst possible injustice any family could be made to go through for a loved one,” the statement partly read
The family noted that Sanda, who was convicted for the premeditated and cold-blooded m8rder of her husband, had shown “no remorse even for a fleeting moment throughout the saga."
