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.

OLD NAIRA NOTES: SUPREME COURT'S POSITION REMAINS VALID - LAGOS ATTORNEY-GENERAL .(PHOTO).#PRESS RELEASE




SUPREME COURT'S POSITION REMAINS VALID - LAGOS ATTORNEY-GENERAL  


Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN) has joined the debate, saying the rejection of the old notes is contrary to the Supreme Court's stand. 


Onigbanjo stated this when he appeared on TVC Business Show, adding that petrol stations, banks and others who reject the old notes could be prosecuted.  


 The Senior Advocate decried the lingering naira scarcity in the land and the high charges by Point-of-Sales operators that have fostered untold hardship on Nigerians. 



He noted that people who are hungry and have their means of livelihood eroded cannot care about any macro-economic policy or its short or long-term gain. 

The Attorney-General said: “There is a contract between a customer and a bank that says when you bring your money to us you can have it back on demand. Any bank that refuses to give the money on demand has violated the terms and conditions of that contract and can be sued. I will advise Lagosians who have experienced suffering and injury as a result of the situation to press charges”. 



In the Commissioner’s view, it is ridiculous that Nigerians are buying their own money. “Even the producers of goods and services are losing money due to the scarcity of new notes to purchase their products easily”, he said.  

On his legal perspective on the recent Supreme Court ruling, the AG noted that though President Muhamadu Buhari has enormous powers, he cannot repeal the order of the Supreme Court or any other court in the country. 



President Muhamadu Buhari announced this morning that the CBN would allow banks to circulate the old N200 notes until April 10. 



This is contrary to the Supreme Court’s position that the old and new notes should co-exist until the substantive matter, which will be heard on February 22, is heard.
