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.

DEPAUL UNIVERSITY FIRES BIOLOGY PROFESSOR OVER ASSIGNMENT ABOUT ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR. (PHOTO).


 DePaul University fires biology professor over assignment about Israel-Hamas war


DePaul University says it has fired a part-time biology professor after she gave an optional assignment to students last month asking them to write about the impact of "genocide in Gaza on human health and biology." 


An investigation into the assignment offered by Anne d’Aquino "found it had negatively affected the learning environment by introducing extraneous political material that was outside the scope of the academic subject as outlined in the curriculum," according to the school. 


"The class was provided a new instructor, and the faculty member has been released from their appointment as a part-time faculty member," DePaul University said in a statement to The Associated Press, adding that some students "expressed significant concern" about politics in a science class on how microorganisms cause disease. 


The Chicago-based school also said an email with the assignment showed support for people "resisting the normalization of ethnic cleansing." 


Around the same time, DePaul administrators were grappling with an anti-Israel encampment on campus. 


D’Aquino is appealing the decision, saying during a student demonstration on campus in support of her last Thursday, "My termination was a breach of my academic freedom and another example of this administration’s efforts to twist any discussions of Palestine and Palestinian liberation language into false claims of antisemitism." 


D’Aquino was teaching Health 194, Human Pathogens and Defense in early May, according to CBS Chicago.  


In its online academic catalog, DePaul describes the course as introducing students "to the diverse microorganisms that cause significant disease within the human population." 


"The biological basis of infectious disease will be explored with a focus on the mechanisms of viral and bacterial infection and spread," the course description adds. "The principles behind tools used combat infection will be examined, including antiseptics, antibiotics/antivirals, and vaccination."


DePaul University said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Monday that "The faculty member has initiated an appeal, as is her right under the Faculty Handbook" and "That process is currently underway and will be completed soon."


D’Aquino did not immediately respond Monday to a request for comment from Fox News Digital, but she said last week at the rally, "My case is a reminder that if faculty and staff are not protected from the swift and severe reprimand of this university, students most certainly are not either." 


"The assignment was, in fact, related to the course and its objectives," D'Aquino also said. "For months, scientists and physicians have been warning about the spread of infectious disease in Gaza – due to starvation, malnutrition, overcrowding, destruction of critical water and sanitation infrastructure."
