Father-in-law seeks clemency for Maryam Sanda after husband's murder

Maryam Sanda's father-in-law, Ahm Isa Bello, discloses ongoing efforts to secure clemency for her, citing a request made to President Buhari in 2019 by former Attorney General Abubakar Malami. Sanda was convicted and sentenced to death in 2017 for the murder of her husband, Bilyaminu Bello.

The recent presidential pardon was described as a merciful act to allow Sanda to care for her two children. Bello expressed forgiveness towards Sanda's family and emphasized the need for healing and forgiveness in the wake of the tragedy.
