Woman charged with husband's manslaughter

Police in Nigeria confirm a woman has been charged with the death of her husband.

Maryam Sanda is accused of stabbing Bilyaminu Haliru Bello to death, and has been charged with culpable homicide (equivalent to manslaughter).

The couple have a six-month-old baby, reports Nigeria's Daily Post.

The case hit the headlines in Nigeria in part because Mr Bello, 35, was the son of veteran politician Mohammed Haliru Bello, the former chairman of the People's Democratic Party (PDP).
