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.

 Dickson Warns Atiku, Amaechi, Others Over 2027 Political Coalition


Former Bayelsa State Governor Seriake Dickson has issued a subtle warning to leaders of an emerging political coalition, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, and former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, urging them to tread cautiously in their political maneuvers ahead of the 2027 elections.


Speaking at Amaechi’s 60th birthday celebration in Abuja on Saturday, Dickson referenced the coalition’s past actions, particularly their role in ousting the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015. He noted that the coalition’s success in removing what he described as a “clueless government” has not translated into meaningful progress for Nigerians.


“When you took out my party in 2015, we thought poverty would not be weaponized and Nigeria’s challenges would be resolved,” Dickson said. “Now, 11 years later, I urge you, as expert conspirators and coalition builders, to shine your eyes and be mindful of your choices.”


The event saw top politicians gather to honor Amaechi, with Atiku openly declaring himself, Amaechi, and El-Rufai as “conspirators” united in their opposition to President Bola Tinubu’s administration. The new coalition is reportedly being formed to challenge the current government in the 2027 general elections.


Dickson’s remarks underscored a call for reflection, warning his colleagues to consider the consequences of their political strategies on Nigeria’s future.
