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.

FOUR KILLED, HUNDREDS ARRESTED IN ANGOLA FUEL PRICE PROTESTS. (PHOTO).


 Four killed, hundreds arrested in Angola fuel price protests


Four people were killed when violence broke out in the Angolan capital Monday as the taxi industry began a strike over rising fuel prices, police said, AFP reported.


There was widespread looting in Luanda on the first day of the strike, the latest in a series of protests against the July 1 fuel hike, with protesters also attacking public buses and private vehicles.


"In terms of consequences, we currently report four deaths," Deputy Commissioner Mateus Rodrigues told reporters Tuesday, without specifying how they occurred.


Police rounded up 400 people overnight for suspected involvement in the violence after arresting 100 on Monday, the police spokesman said.


Shops vandalised


About 45 shops were vandalised and 25 private vehicles and 20 public buses were damaged, he said.


AFP photographs on Monday showed people running off with items looted from shops while images posted on social media showed large crowds of protesters and, separately, police pushing back demonstrators.


The Angolan government raised the price of subsidised gasoline prices from 300 to 400 kwanzas ($0.33 to $0.43) a litre on July 1.


Around 2,000 people demonstrated against the fuel hike on Saturday, with protests also held the previous two weekends.


Strike to continue


The ANATA taxi association distanced itself from Monday's violence but said the three-day strike would continue.


It "has become clear that the voice of the taxi drivers reflects the outcry of the Angolan people," the association said in a statement.


Police were monitoring for further unrest, the police spokesman said.


"We continue to stress that our forces are on the streets, equipped with the necessary resources based on the threat level, responding where order has been restored to maintain it, and intervening where there are still disturbances to reestablish public order and peace," he said.
