Kaduna businessman drags ex fiancee’s father to court, demands dowry refund A businessman, Nasiru Dayyabu, on Wednesday, dragged the father of his ex-fiance, Mallam Sani Direba, to Shari’a Court II sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna over N260,000 dowry. The complainant had joined Direba in the suit against two brothers demanding a refund of N250, 000 dowry and N10,000 introduction money he paid to marry his daughter. Represented by his counsel, Mr Sani Sunusi, the complainant told the court that he sent his people from Karaye, Kano State to Kaduna in 2025, to seek for the defendant’s daughter’s hand in marriage. “We paid the dowry and the introduction money (kudin gausuwa) and were waiting for them to set a date for the wedding,” he said. “Unfortunately, the lady’s father called to inform us that they have cancelled the marriage.” The counsel said the complainant had asked for the refund of his money since Sept. 2025 but all the efforts he made proved abortive.

     The Management of Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital (DASH), Lafia, Nasarawa State, says it has dismissed 10 of its staff recently over financial misconduct.
Dr Hassan Ikrama, the Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the hospital disclosed this in an interview with Newsmen on Thursday in Lafia.
According to him, the affected staff were dismissed for various offences including stealing, diversion of funds and sabotage.
"Some of them are engaging in stealing of blood from blood bank and selling same to private hospitals to diverting money meant for the hospital.
"Some are using the facilities of the hospital to carryout investigation in the laboratory and put the money for the charges in their private pockets," he added.
He noted that all the dismissed staff were tried and found culpable by the committee set up to look into their matter.
He said that when he was appointed as the CMD of the hospital, he discovered that the hospital was rotten with leakages in every department.
"Instead of the internally generated revenue of the hospital to improve, individuals were busy diverting it for personal use as a result, services were going down on daily basis.
"The hospital prior to my coming was lacking so many machines, has only one theatre, only 200 beds for admission, one clinic, insufficient offices for doctors.
"That was why most patients were being referred to either Jos, Federal Medical Centre Keffi or National Hospital Abuja due to lack of machines and space at the hospital," the CMD said.
He explained that given all these challenges, himself and the management staff had decided to block leakages in order to improve services at the hospital.
He added that as at now, he has increased the numbers of theatre to three, clinics to eight, scanning machine from one to eight.
Others initiatives to reposition the hospital includes; 200 additional beds, renovation of wards, toilets among others.
He said that he has strengthened the hospital by employing more technical and other specialists to cater for the increasing number of patients patronising the facility daily.
“We have 40 permanent and other visiting consultants in different fields, over 100 Doctors apart from Nurses, Pharmacists and Laboratory Technicians, among others.
“We also acquired brand new scan and digital Xray machines that patients were hitherto sent to Keffi or Jos because we do not have them," he added.
Ikrama therefore assured members of the public that the management of the hospital would do everything possible to ensure better service delivery.
