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.

 ICE ramps up enforcement in Boston amid Trump’s new crackdown on sanctuary cities

Immigrants in the Boston metro area are being detained while heading to work, near courthouses, and even in store parking lots as President Donald Trump targets sanctuary cities in a heightened immigration enforcement campaign. Families are reportedly staying home out of fear, while advocates note an increased presence of unmarked ICE vehicles in public areas, where agents have been observed targeting work vans. One video shows three landscapers at Saugus Town Hall being arrested after agents smashed their truck window.

The surge in enforcement has led Everett, north of Boston, to cancel its annual Hispanic Heritage Month festival, with the mayor citing safety concerns for community members. While officials in other states, like New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte, have praised such actions, immigrant advocates in Massachusetts argue that the crackdown is fueling fear and anxiety in local communities. The Department of Justice previously filed a lawsuit against Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and the city’s police over sanctuary policies, which Wu called an attack on cities to distract from federal failures. ICE’s current operation, dubbed “Patriot 2.0,” follows a May crackdown that detained nearly 1,500 immigrants in Massachusetts and has intensified in the run-up to local elections. Officials say the focus is on criminal immigrants, but advocacy groups report that asylum-seekers and legal residents are also being affected. Detainees are being transferred to facilities across New England, with flights from New Hampshire alone moving over 300 people since early August. Community organizations have mobilized hotlines and volunteers to track ICE activity and support affected families, highlighting widespread fear over everyday tasks like going to work, picking up children, or using public transportation.
