Segun Atanda/

Son of a former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Haliru Bello, was allegedly stabbed to death by his wife on Saturday night.

Bilyamin Bello was reportedly attacked by his wife, Maryam Sanda, at their Maitama, Abuja residence, after she accused him of infidelity.

Maryam reportedly saw text message on the deceased’s phone which got her angry.

She allegedly stabbed the deceased several times in the back and in other parts of the body.

After stabbing him, she drove him to the hospital where he died.

Unconfirmed reports said she had earlier stabbed the deceased on the left ear after which he was rushed to the hospital.

He was reportedly advised not to return home but he refused.

The couple had a daughter.

In a Facebook tribute, a friend of the deceased, Eniola Akinkuotu, described him as “an extremely nice guy who hardly ever got angry”.

He said the deceased had complained in the past about his marriage but none of his friends took him serious.

“He had complained in the past about his marriage but we never thought it would come to this. He had even said he wanted to leave his loveless marriage but I thought it was a joke. After all, this is what most men say when they want to have extra-marital affairs, so we thought,” the friend wrote.
