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.

 Angola floats 'proposals' to end fighting in eastern DRC


Angola said on Monday it had floated to President Felix Tshisekedi proposals to end the conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and that the Congolese leader had found them "interesting."


The resource-rich region, which borders Rwanda as well as Burundi, has been beset by decades of continual violence.


The conflict has flared since 2021 following M23's rebellion despite a flurry of diplomatic efforts, including a US-brokered peace deal signed last month.


Tshisekedi met his counterpart Joao Lourenco in Angola's capital Luanda, the Angolan presidency said in a statement after the visit, which lasted "a few hours."


Previous efforts failed


"The Congolese statesman said that President Joao Lourenco put forward 'some proposals' which he found 'very interesting' and which, in terms of the search for peace in his country, could 'contribute significantly'," the statement said, AFP reported.


It was not immediately clear what measures had been presented. Previous Angolan attempts to broker a truce failed to resolve the crisis.


The meeting between Tshisekedi and Lourenco – the current chairperson of the African Union – comes days before a gathering on Thursday of African Great Lakes region defence ministers to address the increasingly tense security situation in the DRC.


Zambian Defence Minister Ambrose Lwiji Lufuma is expected to chair the meeting in Livingstone, with all 12 defence ministers and defence chiefs from the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) expected to attend.


Fighting flares in Uvira


The ICGLR comprises Angola, Burundi, the Central African Republic, Congo-Brazzaville, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.


Fighting broke out on Saturday between the M23 and pro-Kinshasa forces in several towns around the strategic eastern DRC city of Uvira.


Under US pressure, the M23 had announced on December 17 its withdrawal from Uvira, while asking mediators to ensure the city's protection from violence and "remilitarization."
