Reports claim that Mariam is close to both the man and wife, and was the ex-lover of Liman.
The unfortunate incident escalated after Faridah reportedly discovered the compromising evidence on her husband’s phone, allegedly revealing the affair he had with Mariam inside her matrimonial restroom.
The claims became a viral topic after Mariam herself purportedly posted content on Snapchat, sparking heated debates across platforms.
An X influencer, @Nimisioluwa, commented on the scandal, writing: “A certain Sababi Liman, who got married to Farida Bello Matawalle, was caught cheating on his newly wedded wife after his side chick, Mariam, posted it on her Snapchat account. It was said that he married Farida because her father is a billionaire, a former governor, and a minister, not because he’s in love with her.”

Mariam is alleged to have been one of Faridah’s bridesmaids, with claims that she continued to play a role in Liman’s life whenever Faridah travelled.

“Turning someone’s situation into content for laughs and gossip isn’t right. Our deen teaches us to protect people, not expose them. Today it’s them, tomorrow it could easily be you We forget what Allah says in the Qur’an (24:19) those who spread indecency among believers will face serious consequences, in this life and the next. And the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) reminded us that whoever hides the faults of a Muslim, Allah will hide theirs. This isn’t something to joke about. May Allah forgive us and guide us.”

“Wallahi, pray in everything you do in life. Kada Allah ya haɗa mijinki da irinsu Mallory (Beauty in Black), because people like that can easily distract a man. They know how to seduce him gently, step by step, until they lead him into something shameful, sometimes without him even realizing what he’s doing. His eyes may be open, but his mind is already clouded. That’s why prayer and staying grounded are very important in marriage.”
