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.

 Mali releases jailed anti-junta leaders


A court in Mali has freed 11 opposition leaders who were arrested in June on charges of plotting against the ruling military junta after calling for a return to civilian rule, AP reported.


Their provisional release on Friday has been seen as an attempt to calm the country’s political climate in the wake of the controversial appointment of Gen. Abdoulaye MaĆÆga as prime minister.


Mali has been ruled by military leaders since the junta seized power in 2020 and staged another coup the following year.


The 11 individuals had been arrested on June 20 during an “illegal” meeting held during a period when all political party activities had been banned. They were charged with plotting against the junta after they signed a declaration in March calling for the military to relinquish power.


“The 11 comrades of the March 31st Declaration platform of political parties and associations have been free since yesterday,” former Malian minister Djiguiba Keita, whose opposition Party for National Rebirth (Parena) is a signatory of the declaration, said Friday.


“This release is the result of a process we initiated to ask the authorities to free our comrades as part of the effort to calm the political climate in the country,” he told The Associated Press.


Issa Togo, member of the Adema PASJ party and a former deputy to the National Assembly, said all 11 "are free to resume their political activities and travel.”


Several other prominent political leaders and civil society activists are still in prison in Mali, including Issa Kaou N’Djim, the former vice-president of the National Transitional Council, the legislative body of Mali’s transition, and the economist Etienne Fakaba Sissoko.


Both have been critical of the military regimes of the three countries of the Alliance of Sahel States — Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.


MaĆÆga was appointed prime minister in November, the day after Choguel MaĆÆga (no relation), a civilian prime minister who criticized the junta for postponing the presidential election scheduled for 2024, was removed by junta leader Gen. Assimi Goita.
