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.

Harris’s mother, Shyamala Gopalan, who came to America young and alone, made a career as a breast cancer researcher before dying of cancer in 2009.


Harris remains close to her mother’s side of the family — one of her brightest childhood memories was walking down the beach hand in hand with her Indian grandfather, PV Gopalan.


In fact, it was her grandfather (a staunch supporter of women's education) who instilled confidence in 19-year-old Shyamala when she won admission to a PhD program at the University of California, Berkeley (without anyone in the family knowing she had applied).


He did not hesitate to pay, even though it was a lot of money for a civil servant.

"One thing that he strongly believed in was that, whether it is a son or a daughter, they must be equally educated. He was very progressive,” says Harris’s aunt, who became a well-known gynaecologist.
