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.

 Afenifere Condemns Invasion of Oyo state Secreteriat


Apex pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, has strongly condemned the invasion of the Oyo Government Secretariat in Ibadan by some members of the Yoruba Nation agitators on Saturday.                        Also condemning the invasion of the Assembly, the socio-cultural group, in a statement issued on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Jare Ajayi, said those who invaded the Assembly did not act in the interest of the Yorubas whom they claim to be representing.


Afenifere insisted that there is no such thing as the Democratic Republic of Yoruba as requested by the group of invaders as the Yoruba nation is an integral part of Nigeria.


“Yoruba is an important component of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. And as is well known, there cannot be a sovereign republic within an extant sovereign republic.

“At the moment, Yoruba are indigenous in Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo States and in parts of Kwara, Kogi, Delta and Edo State of Nigeria, just as they are found in some other parts of the world”, the statement said.


The statement added that though there are flaws in the way the country is being run, “solutions to the shortcomings do not lie in violent divisions but rather, what we should strive for is how the perceived wrongs in the country can be righted.

How can a person or group of persons think that invading a State House of Assembly is tantamount to the creation of a Federal Republic?


“Genuine Yorubas normally think things through before they take actions, especially a fundamental action such as forming or declaring a nation. Yorubas don’t act that way. Rather, they apply wisdom and intellectualism in major steps they want to take. They apply tact.

“Afenifere is of the strong view that President Bola Tinubu administration is taken steps to rejig Nigeria in a manner that would make the country become one that every citizen would be proud of soonest. Restructuring the country is a sure way of accelerating this.”


He went further to say that Afenifere strongly believes that when restructuring is effected with constituent entities allowed to be in control of their own affairs, Nigeria will become beneficial to everyone.

“This is why we are relentless in our agitation for Restructuring,” the group said.


The Afenifere therefore, called for a thorough investigation of the incident with a view to ensuring that perpetrators and those behind the scheme face the wrath of the law to serve as a deterrence to others.
