An FCT High Court in Maitama has adjourned to January 22 further hearing in the murder charge against Maryam Sanda.

The trial judge, Justice Yusuf Halilu, also ordered the police to regularise their proof of evidence as it relates to the list of witnesses and summary of evidence.

He made the order following an objection to the evidence of the police’s 6th witness in the trial.

Maryam Sanda is being tried for allegedly killing her husband, Bilyaminu Bello, a nephew of former PDP Chairman, Alhaji Bello Halliru Muhammad.

She was docked alongside her brother, Aliyu Sanda; her mother, Maimuna Aliyu and one Sadiya, who were accused of assisting her to conceal the evidence by cleaning the blood of the deceased from the scene of the crime. They pleaded not guilty.
