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.

NICOLA PELTZ'S FAMILY HAS ACCUSED DAVID AND VICTORIA BECKHAM OF BEING "TIGHT" WITH THEIR FINANCES WHEN IT COMES TO SUPPORTING THEIR ELDEST SON BROOKLYN. (PHOTO).


 The ongoing Beckham family saga has taken another dramatic turn, with new allegations emerging about money, property ownership, and parenting philosophies that could rival any soap opera storyline.


 According to recent reports, Nicola Peltz's family has accused David and Victoria Beckham of being "tight" with their finances when it comes to supporting their eldest son Brooklyn. The controversy centers around the couple's recent £11 million Hollywood mansion purchase, which sources claim was primarily funded by Nicola's trust fund rather than the Beckham family wealth.


 The Daily Mail reports that Nelson Peltz, Nicola's billionaire father worth $1.6 billion, had to sign off on releasing funds from his daughter's trust fund to purchase the property. This has apparently led to accusations that the Beckhams aren't adequately providing for Brooklyn, with sources suggesting the family "cuts their children off financially" when they turn 18.


 However, friends of the Beckham family defend their approach, explaining that David and Victoria, who came from working-class backgrounds, believe in teaching their children the value of money rather than simply handing them millions. They reportedly will always support Brooklyn when needed but refuse to needlessly spoil him.


 This financial dispute adds another layer to the already strained relationship between Brooklyn and his parents. The young couple notably missed all five of David's 50th birthday celebrations and Brooklyn failed to publicly acknowledge his father's recent knighthood.


 The situation highlights the complex dynamics that can arise when families of vastly different financial philosophies come together through marriage. Do you think parents should financially support their adult children, or is it important to let them make their own way?
