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.

 EFCC Secures Final Forfeiture of Tractors, Auto Rickshaws


Justice Haleema Saleeman of the Kwara State High Court, Ilorin has ordered the final forfeiture of two tractors and two auto rickshaws by Kayode Oyin-Zubair, a former Special Assistant on Community Intervention to ex-Kwara State governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed in favour of Self Reliance Economic Advancement Programme, SEAP in the state.


In giving the ruling on Thursday, July 24, 2025, Justice Saleeman dismissed an application filed by Oyin-Zubair, seeking to set aside an earlier interim forfeiture order on the items and upheld the arguments of EFCC’s counsel, Mustapha Kaigama in favour of the applicant, Self Reliance Economic Advancement Programme, SEAP that the assets were acquired with proceeds of unlawful activity. The forfeited items are valued at N57.4 million.


Oyin-Zubair, who served who served as an Assistant to former governor Ahmed between 2020 and 2023,  had approached SEAP to finance the procurement of 100 auto rickshaws, commonly called “tricycles” and 100 mini-buses for members of the Tricycle Owners Association of Nigeria (TOAN), National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), and Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN). While SEAP disbursed N192 million for the purchases, investigations revealed that N72 million in repayments made by the beneficiaries was diverted and used by Oyin-Zubair to acquire two tractors and two auto rickshaws.


The EFCC recovered the illegally acquired items in a warehouse along Fate Road, Ilorin and secured an order for their interim forfeiture.
