ICPC arrests Maryam Sanda’s mother in court premises

Maimuna Aliyu, the mother of Maryam Sanda has been arrested by
operatives of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related
Offences Commission (ICPC).

She was whisked away into a white Toyota Hiace just as she was
stepping out of the FCT High Court in Maitama where she is standing
trial along with her daughter and son, Aliyu Sanda.

The three of them were docked over alleged involvement in the
death of Bilyamin Bello, husband of Maryam and son to former
national chairman of the PDP, Haliru Bello.

As at the time of filing this report, sources said she is being
taken to the office of one Mrs. Akiyade on the 2nd floor of the
ICPC building.

Recall that Maimuna, a former Director with Aso Savings and
Loans, was charged last year by the ICPC before another FCT High
Court in Jabi over fraud related charges.

Our reporter gathered that she was arrested for failing to
honour an invitation sent to her by the ICPC concerning a charge
before Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of the Federal High Court in
Abuja.

She reportedly said she wasn’t comfortable going to the ICPC
because she “doesn’t trust them”.

It was further gathered that upon getting to the ICPC office
today, she was served with a new charge, details of which are not
yet known.
