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.

 Eze Ofoegbu Declares Suspension by Abia Traditional Rulers Council Invalid, Cites Recognition of Tinubu’s Achievements


The Traditional Ruler of Umudiawa Autonomous Community, Eze Nnamdi Ofoegbu, has dismissed his purported suspension by the Abia State Traditional Rulers Council as “null and void,” asserting that he committed no offense to warrant such action. Speaking during an interview with journalists at his Umudiawa Palace on Sunday, Eze Ofoegbu claimed his suspension stemmed from his decision to honor President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for developmental strides in the South East.


Eze Ofoegbu, who also serves as the Chairman of the Ndigbo Progressives Traditional Rulers Forum, explained that his “offense” was presenting an award to President Tinubu through the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, recognizing the president’s contributions to the region. He defended the action, stating it was within the forum’s rights to encourage further development in the South East. “It is within our purview to do so to enable the president to do more for the region,” Ofoegbu said.


The traditional ruler also used the platform to highlight challenges faced by traditional rulers in Abia State, revealing that they are denied the 5 percent funds allocated to local government councils for their operations. He noted that this financial constraint hampers their ability to address critical issues, such as insecurity, in their communities.


The suspension of Eze Ofoegbu was earlier announced by Eze Linus Mba, Chairman of the Abia State Traditional Rulers Council, who cited alleged insubordination as the reason for the action. However, Ofoegbu’s rejection of the suspension has sparked debates about the autonomy of traditional rulers and their role in regional development.


The situation remains unresolved, with calls for dialogue between the Abia State Traditional Rulers Council and Eze Ofoegbu to clarify the circumstances surrounding the suspension and address the concerns raised.
