The Federal Territory High Court on Monday convicted Maryam Sandals of the crime murdering her husband and sentenced her to death by hanging. This was the end of a trial that lasted two years, over the killing of her husband , Bilyaminu Bello. This was to many Justice well served, and to others who remember God and forgiveness only when the wicked is being punished, it was an extreme sentence. Surprisingly, the base of all that culminated in the murder of Sandals husband by her, and the now the death sentence hanging on her neck was a nude picture, possibly a female nude picture she saw on her husband phone. This she made known ro the police, in her statement on January 23, 2019.

One could have preferred this remains a mere imagination than a reality, or an episode in a movie. But this is the now reality of Maryam Sanda, and could become the reality of many other people, who might not be wise enough to learn from the horrible experience of Maryam. Sadly, the two families that were once brought together by love and affection has been thrown into a forever nightmare of the murder and the soon execution of their children who had brought them into such togetherness in love and affection, just by the stupidity of Maryam, over nude pictures on her husband's phone.
Mind you, Maryam was a nursing mother, with 3 months pregnancy, when she killed her husband over the picture of a nude woman on his phone. So while standing trial for the murder of her husband, she had the second child. But, like Maryam, there are also men who had also sent their wives to the grave beyond over infidelity or adultery. One can only hope that as Maryam, that law catches up with them to serve justice. Nature abhors adultery as the Bible forbids it, yet no one should kill anyone over adultery. However, in Maryam case, her religion permits the husband to marry up to four wives. And before they came together, she knew this. Let even agree that the husband had no such religious privilege of having many wives. So, why will any woman kill her husband over another woman? Thereby making herself a widow and her children fatherless? How will she tell her children when they grow up that she killed their father over another woman? Unfortunately these rational questions are what people don't ask themselves when jealousy takes over them. If they could be calm a little, to ask themselves real questions no one will carry jealousy motivated anger over a moment. Humans are naturally jealous, not wanting to share what they cherish; however such joulousy that will push one to any form of evil must be avoided and run away from.
