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.

 Elusive shipwreck discovered on bottom of Lake Michigan after 139 years

After more than 130 years beneath Lake Michigan, the long-lost shipwreck of the F.J. King has finally been discovered, the Wisconsin Underwater Archeology Association announced. The 144-foot wooden vessel, which sank during a powerful storm in September 1886, was located near the Wisconsin-Michigan border using sonar and remotely operated vehicles.

The F.J. King had sailed for 19 years before breaking apart, with debris spotted by lighthouse keepers and fishermen in the days following the sinking. Photos released by researchers show the ship largely intact, more than 120 feet below the lake’s surface. Historians note the vessel was carrying iron at the time, a common cargo alongside grain, wood, and other products. The National Park Service estimates that around 6,000 ships were damaged or destroyed on the Great Lakes during the 1800s, many of which remain undiscovered. Researchers are now creating a 3D model of the F.J. King and hope to nominate it for the State and National Register of Historic Places, while initiatives like Lakebed 2030 continue mapping the lake floor to uncover more lost vessels.
