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.

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.

 Fire at popular Goa nightclub in India kills at least 25, officials report

NEW DELHI, INDIA - At least 25 people, including tourists, were killed early Sunday in a fire at a popular nightclub in Goa, India, authorities confirmed. The blaze broke out just after midnight at a club in Arpora, a bustling party area in North Goa.

Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said most of the victims were kitchen staff, along with three to four tourists. Six others were injured and are reported to be in stable condition. Officials said the fire was triggered by a gas cylinder explosion and has since been extinguished, with all bodies recovered. Approximately 100 people were on the dance floor when the fire began, and many ran to the kitchen below, where staff and some guests became trapped.

The nightclub, situated along the Arpora river backwaters, had a narrow entry and exit, forcing firefighters to position their tankers about 400 meters away, which delayed their response. A local council official noted that the club had previously been issued a demolition notice for operating without a construction permit, though higher authorities later withdrew the order.

The state government has launched an inquiry to determine the fire’s exact cause and assess whether safety and building regulations were followed. Fire and building safety standards are often poorly enforced in India, contributing to similar accidents. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences and said the state government is providing all possible assistance to those affected.

Goa, a western coastal state famed for its beaches, is one of India’s top tourist destinations. Accidents involving gas cylinders are not uncommon in the country, highlighting ongoing concerns about safety enforcement.
