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.

 US requests UN approval for Gaza security force with expansive two-year mandate

The U.S. has circulated a draft resolution to members of the UN Security Council proposing the creation of an international security force in Gaza with a two-year mandate, according to a copy of the document obtained Monday.

The resolution, marked "SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED," would grant participating countries broad authority to maintain security and governance in Gaza through the end of 2027, with potential extensions beyond that. The draft calls for the International Security Force (ISF) to operate as an enforcement body rather than a traditional peacekeeping mission, deploying troops from multiple countries under a unified command approved by the so-called Gaza “Board of Peace,” which former President Trump has said he will chair.

The ISF’s responsibilities would include securing Gaza’s borders with Israel and Egypt, protecting civilians and humanitarian corridors, training a new Palestinian police force, and stabilizing the region by demilitarizing the Gaza Strip. This would involve dismantling military infrastructure and permanently decommissioning weapons held by non-state armed groups, suggesting that Hamas could be disarmed if it does not comply voluntarily. The force could also undertake additional tasks as needed to support the broader Gaza agreement.

The deployment is intended to coincide with a transitional period in which Israel gradually withdraws from additional areas of Gaza while the Palestinian Authority carries out reforms to eventually assume full administrative control. Countries such as Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Egypt, and Turkey have indicated potential contributions of troops.

The draft emphasizes that the ISF will operate in close consultation with both Egypt and Israel and will be empowered to use all necessary measures to fulfill its mandate in accordance with international law, including humanitarian law. The Board of Peace would oversee a Palestinian technocratic committee responsible for Gaza’s day-to-day civil administration until the Authority completes its reform program. Aid delivery would be managed through the Board of Peace in partnership with organizations like the UN, Red Cross, and Red Crescent, with strict penalties for misuse or diversion of resources.
