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.

 Sesame Street unveils trailer for reimagined 56th season on Netflix 

Netflix has released the first trailer for the reimagined 56th season of Sesame Street, marking the iconic children’s show’s debut on the streaming platform after its departure from HBO Max. The new season premieres Nov. 10, exactly 56 years after the program first aired on PBS in 1969, and will stream globally in over 30 languages. In the United States, episodes will also air simultaneously on PBS stations, the PBS Kids Channel, and PBS Kids digital platforms.

This season introduces major changes to the show’s format. Episodes are now 11 minutes long, up from nine minutes in previous seasons, allowing for expanded storytelling and a musical element in each episode. The series has moved away from its traditional magazine-style format to more narrative-driven content. Executive producer Sal Perez said the season “invites children into the action and brings them hand-in-hand through high-stakes stories, powerful learning moments, and laugh-out-loud surprises,” with a focus on teaching kindness and compassion.

New segments include Cookie Monster’s Cookie Cart and Abby’s Fairy Garden, while classics such as Elmo’s World and Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck return. Episodes will also feature moments where characters speak directly to viewers. Halcyon Person, an Emmy, Humanitas, and NAACP Award nominee, joins as head writer and co-executive producer. Episodes will be released in three volumes on Netflix, with four episodes per volume. Guest stars include NASCAR champion Bubba Wallace and upcoming appearances by Miley Cyrus.

The move to Netflix follows Warner Bros. Discovery’s decision not to renew the show’s contract with HBO Max, where Sesame Street had streamed since 2020 after moving to HBO in 2016. Produced by the nonprofit Sesame Workshop, the show has earned more than 200 Emmy Awards, three Peabody Awards, and a Kennedy Center Honor, reaching families in over 150 countries. Netflix will also develop video games based on Sesame Street and Sesame Street Mecha Builders, and stream 90 hours of past episodes.
