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.

 FG Considers Ban on 60,000-Litre Tanker Trucks Amid Rising Fatalities


The Federal Government is considering banning 60,000-litre capacity tanker trucks, capping them at 45,000 litres, due to rising tanker-related accidents, which have caused 486 deaths in under three years.


NMDPRA Chief Executive, Engr. Farouk Ahmed, revealed that in:

2025, five accidents led to 121 deaths, 79 injuries.

2024, 11 incidents caused 341 deaths, 124 injuries.

2023, two accidents resulted in 24 deaths, 5 injuries.


To enhance safety, the government has implemented driver training, anti-spill safety valves, and safe-to-load protocols.


However, NARTO opposes the ban, arguing it could jeopardize N300bn investments, as 2,000 such trucks are currently in operation, each costing N150m. NUPENG also stressed the need for driver health checks and better road conditions.


Stakeholder discussions on the proposal are ongoing.
