The first wife of the murdered son of ex-PDP Chairman has narrated why she had to leave him for his jealous second wife so he could have peace.

Shagari who penned an emotional tribute to her ex-husband said she wanted him to have peace with Sanda since he was bent on divorcing her and marry the daughter of the former Aso Savings boss, Hajia Maimuna Sanda, said to be his true love.

A friend of Maryam who is now in the Suleja Prison had said that Shagari was actually forced on Bello while he was madly in love with Maryam and divorced his first wife two weeks after the wedding so he could marry the woman who has now sent him to the great beyond.

Shagari who could barely control her emotions on the day Bello was buried which would have been his 36th birthday, took to her Facebook page to post the tribute to her ex-husband, revealing that she left Bello so that his jealous wife will have peace.

She began the tribute thus:

“I will love you always. You would have been 36 today. May Allah rest your beautiful soul as people continue to say your name every day; you were the kind of person to leave that kind of impact in your wake and slumber.

I’m sorry we drifted apart. I wanted you to have peace and was so proud of myself for letting her have you to herself.

It wouldn’t even come close to being enough, my darling friend. In different points of my life, you were everything.

A brother who pulled my scarf when I did wrong; a friend who knew me best and we decided to get married out of pure friendship; how strong was that bond?

And when we couldn’t, we still found our way back to being friends, my darling. I don’t have enough words.

You once asked: ‘What would you do if I die?’ I promptly started crying and abused you for suggesting you would die and I'd be around.

Those tears shocked you. Well, if you could see me now, the thing that was most endearing to me that probably meant nothing to you was the way you never ever allowed me to cross the road without holding my wrist to do it for me.

It used to infuriate me before I came to expect it and would be like, ‘see this guy, before him, didn’t I cross the road?’

Even when we fought, you held on; even if we didn’t talk, you held on. It was funny, it was special because it was not the hand but the wrist, as if to assure yourself you wouldn’t let go.

That was who we were. Till I suggested I wanted your jealous wife to have peace. I wouldn’t call; I said you would, and you did whenever you could and you saw me whenever you could.

Bye, my love. May Allah link us up in Jannah. We will love Aleesha.”

Recall that Bello was reportedly stabbed to death by Sanda on Sunday, November 19, 2017, in their home in Abuja following a disagreement after she allegedly found another woman's text message on his phone.

And since then, a lot of conjectures have been put up friends of both the deceased and the killer wife, with some supporting her while others blame her for having the heart to kill her husband.
