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.

DOLLY PARTON HAS NOTHING BUT PRAISE FOR BEYONCÉ'S BOLD REINTERPRETATION OF HER ICONIC 1973 HIT "JOLENE" ON THE COWBOY CARTER ALBUM. (PHOTO).


 Country music legend Dolly Parton has nothing but praise for Beyoncé's bold reinterpretation of her iconic 1973 hit "Jolene" on the Cowboy Carter album. 


In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Parton revealed her genuine reaction to hearing her classic song transformed from a vulnerable plea into a fierce warning.


"I was just honored that she did a completely different take on 'Jolene' than my version of it," Parton shared. She explained the key difference: "Hers was more like, 'Well, you're not getting him, you're not taking him, you're going to go through me to get him.' Mine was more like, 'Please don't take him!' So I loved her interpretation."


The 78-year-old singer-songwriter called Beyoncé "a magnificent artist" and described Cowboy Carter as "really, really good." Parton's involvement in the album goes beyond just her blessing - she appears twice on the record, including as a fictional radio DJ on the track "Dolly P" and in a cameo on "Tyrant."


Parton's gracious response highlights what makes great artistry: the ability to see your work evolve through another artist's vision while maintaining respect for both versions. "As a writer, you like to hear how different people interpret your songs," she noted.
