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.

RENÉE VICTOR, THE TALENTED ACTRESS WHO BROUGHT DISNEY'S ABUELITA TO LIFE IN THE BELOVED ANIMATED FILM "COCO",DIES AT THE AGE OF 86.(PHOTO).


 It's with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Renée Victor, the talented actress who brought Disney's Abuelita to life in the beloved animated film "Coco." Victor died Friday evening at her Sherman Oaks home, surrounded by family, after battling lymphoma. She was 86.


Born in San Antonio and later moving to Los Angeles in the 1960s, Renée began her entertainment career as a singer with prominent Latin big bands, working alongside legends like Xavier Cugat and Perez Prado. Her transition to acting in the mid-1980s led to memorable roles in "Matlock," "The Addams Family," and notably as Lupita in Showtime's "Weeds."


However, it was her role as the fierce, loving grandmother in 2017's "Coco" that cemented her legacy. The film, which respectfully celebrated Mexican culture and Día de Muertos, became a box office sensation and won two Academy Awards, including Best Animated Feature. Victor's authentic portrayal of Abuelita resonated with audiences worldwide, making her voice synonymous with unconditional family love.


Her daughters' statement beautifully captures her impact: "Renee was loved by so many & had fans all over the world. Those who knew her will always cherish her memory."
