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.

… Set to Introduce Policy to Regulate Foreign-Based Transient Medical Doctors


The Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA) has shut Vedic Lifecare Hospital for engaging unlicensed expatriates.


The Executive Secretary of the Agency, Dr. Abiola Idowu, who made the disclosure in her office in Alausa, Ikeja, explained that the hospital located at Plot 6, Olabanji Olajide Street, Lekki, was sealed for engaging expatriate staff who have not been certified to practice locally.


“The facility was shut down for engaging three foreign doctors and a nurse with unverified certificates and without licenses from any professional body”, she explained.


She, however, stated that the closure of the hospital does not affect the in-patients already admitted, stressing that the Agency is aware that some facilities are engaging Foreign-Based Transient Medical Doctors (FBTMD) who come into the State, stay for a period of time to provide medical care to patients and perform medical procedures before returning to their respective countries.


Also speaking, the Chairman, HEFAMAA Governing Board, Dr. Yemisi Solanke-Koya, noted that the practice raises consequential concerns regarding the regulatory oversight of healthcare in the State.


The concerns, according to her, focus on whether the facilities where the FBTMDs provide medical care are registered with and meet the standards required by HEFAMAA; whether the FBTMDs themselves possess the requisite credentials and experience required to practice the designated specialities they travel to the State for and whether the provisions made for the realm of continuity of care of the patients when the FBTMDs leave the State meet the standard of care.


The Chairman warned that hospitals in Lagos should desist from using foreigners whose certificates and licenses have not been verified by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).


She, however, indicated that the Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayomi, has directed the Agency to implement an FBTMD policy that will ensure that FBTMDs are approved by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria to practice medicine in the country, adding that such approval must be submitted and duly registered with HEFAMAA prior to commencement of medical practice in the State to safeguard the health, safety and welfare of Lagosians and hold the facilities engaging FTDMBs accountable.
