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.

Kansas city files lawsuit to block planned ICE detention center

Leavenworth, Kansas, a city long tied to the corrections industry, is deeply divided over plans to reopen a detention facility as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) center. CoreCivic, a private prison company that operated a federal detention facility in the city until 2021, intends to house immigration detainees at the same location. The move has prompted strong reactions: some residents and local leaders argue that the center would bring jobs and revenue to the city, while others fear a repeat of safety issues, understaffing, and violence that plagued the facility in its final years of operation.

City officials have filed lawsuits against CoreCivic, arguing that the company needs a new special-use permit, while the company insists it is grandfathered in and free to reopen. Supporters say the facility could bring over 100 jobs paying around $28 an hour and boost the local economy. Opponents cite past reports of violence and unsafe conditions, including a 2021 attack that left two corrections officers severely injured. The debate has become a flashpoint for national immigration policies, with some residents viewing the plan as a necessary step for public safety, while others warn it could entrench the city’s identity as a “prison town.” A judge has temporarily blocked CoreCivic from housing detainees as the legal dispute continues.
