Maryam is standing trial over the alleged murder of her husband, Bilyamin, the son of the former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr Bello Halliru Mohammed.

The second count charge states that her mother Maimuna, her brother, Aliyu, as well as one Sadiya Aminu, with the knowledge that a murder has been committed, “cause evidence of the offence to disappear.”

The police alleged that the trio cleaned the blood from the crime scene with the intention of screening Maryam from legal punishment.

Several reports in the media had said the CCTV footage recovered from the residence of the deceased had revealed Maimuna as one of the people that entered the house after Maryam had rushed the deceased to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
