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.

FORCE REORGANIZATION VITAL FOR EFFECTIVE, PROFESSIONAL, ACCOUNTABLE POLICING



As Police Clears Air on Delayed FG Palliatives; Berates False Publication on Mass Resignation


In response to recent allegations concerning the activities of the Nigeria Police Force, it is important to provide a comprehensive perspective addressing the concerns raised. The Force reorganization, which involves the transfer of officers who have served for a long period of time in a particular state, is a crucial aspect of maintaining effectiveness, professionalism and curbing undue overfamiliarity and familiarity that may hamper quality service delivery. Currently Edo, Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and other states have been earmarked for this first phase of reorganization to enhance efficiency and accountability, and this exercise is a tradition and sacrosanct.


Similarly, promotion arrears are a recognized and budget-based in the public service. This delay is a procedural matter and not indicative of any neglect or malintent as the Force is committed to ensuring that officers receive their due promotions and corresponding arrears in a timely manner. It is pertinent to clarify that those affected are only those promoted within the year 2023, whose promotion entitlements were not catered for in the already approved 2023 fiscal policy.


Regarding the issue of unpaid allowances and palliative payment, it is crucial to clarify that palliative payment is a Federal government initiative, and the Inspector-General of Police has no direct control over this process. The delays or discrepancies in payment of palliatives to selected few police officers, may be attributed to the bureaucratic procedures involved in government disbursements. However, the NPF is committed to working with relevant authorities to address any concerns relating to allowances and palliative payment.


Similarly, with regards to the purported mass resignation of Police officers, it is important to note that, as of now, the Nigeria Police Force has not received mass resignation letters from its officers except a few cases of officers who had privileges of secondment to some international organizations especially the United Nations (UN), African Union (AU), and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and had opportunities of permanent employment with such organizations. 


The recent publication appears to be mischievous and possibly sponsored, as the author did not take the time to understand the intricacies of the public service. The NPF under the current leadership remains committed to the welfare of officers, and resolute in ensuring the growth and repositioning of the Force, and any claims suggesting otherwise should be viewed with skepticism.
