ICPC arrests Maryam Sanda’s mother in court
NEWS DIGEST- 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.
However, Daily Trust reports 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.
It was 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.
