⚖️ Supreme Court Reaffirms Death Sentence for Abuja Housewife Maryam Sanda


 In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court of Nigeria has reaffirmed the death sentence of Abuja-based housewife Maryam Sanda, who was convicted of murdering her husband in 2020. The court also overturned a presidential pardon previously granted by President Bola Tinubu, reigniting discussions about justice and clemency in Nigeria.

Maryam Sanda was convicted in 2020 by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court for stabbing her husband, Bilyaminu Bello, to death in their Abuja home. tvcnews.tv

The Court of Appeal upheld the death sentence by hanging, affirming the gravity of her crime. However, earlier this year, President Tinubu granted her clemency on compassionate grounds, citing her conduct in custody and the welfare of her children. vanguardngr.com

In a split decision (4–1), the Supreme Court:

Overturned the presidential pardon, ruling that executive clemency cannot be exercised while an appeal is pending. kanyidaily.com

Dismissed Sanda’s appeal, stating it lacked merit.

Restored the original death sentence, underscoring the judiciary’s role in upholding the rule of law. inquirer.ng

The ruling reinforces that serious criminal convictions, particularly murder, are not subject to executive intervention when legal processes are ongoing.

The Supreme Court’s decision has sparked debates across Nigeria:

Advocates of strict justice see the ruling as a strong affirmation of the judiciary’s independence.

Others have expressed concern for Sanda’s children and the social implications of executing a mother, highlighting the tension between justice and compassion.
