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.

UPDATE: UNLICENSED TAXI DRIVER BEHIND IMPENDLE SCHOLAR CRASH ARRESTED. (PHOTO).


 Unlicensed taxi driver behind Impendle scholar crash arrested


A minibus taxi driver who fled the scene after a horrific scholar transport accident that left 20 learners injured in Impendle has been arrested.


KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport and Human Settlements, Siboniso Duma, confirmed on Tuesday that the driver had no driver’s licence, no Professional Driving Permit (PrDP), and was only in possession of a learner’s licence.


“The driver violated the National Land Transport Act by transporting learners without a PrDP. We want to remove from our road networks reckless drivers who are behind the spike of private scholar transport accidents and many other accidents that have destroyed families and cut short the lives of innocent people,” Duma said.


The driver allegedly lost control of his unroadworthy minibus taxi before it plunged off KwaKhetha Bridge on P127 on Monday morning. About 20 learners sustained injuries, with some treated and discharged, while others remain under medical care.


Duma said the Road Traffic Inspectorate would intensify operations in collaboration with Impendle Local Municipality and other traffic departments to clamp down on unroadworthy taxis and illegal operators.


He also announced that his department is partnering with the Vehicle Testing Association (VTA) to root out vehicles without valid roadworthy certificates and to clamp down on fraudulent issuing of certificates.


“As we count down to October, which is Transport Month, we will announce our collaboration with the VTA to strengthen legislation governing the taxi and scholar transport industry, enforce stricter compliance, and require biannual certificates of roadworthiness for all heavy passenger vehicles,” Duma added.


KwaZulu-Natal MECs for Health and Education, Nomagugu Simelane and Sipho Hlomuka, together with local government leaders, have joined Duma in responding to the Impendle tragedy.
