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.

 Holocaust survivor and Anne Frank’s stepsister Eva Schloss dies at 96

 Eva Schloss, an Auschwitz survivor and stepsister of Anne Frank, has died at the age of 96. She spent her life educating others about the Holocaust and combating prejudice.

Schloss, who lived in London, was honorary president of the Anne Frank Trust UK. The organization announced her passing on Saturday. King Charles III praised her work, saying he felt “privileged and proud” to know her and noting that she dedicated her life to promoting kindness, courage, understanding, and resilience in the wake of unimaginable suffering.

Born Eva Geiringer in Vienna in 1929, she and her family fled to Amsterdam after Austria was annexed by Nazi Germany. There, she became friends with Anne Frank. Like the Frank family, the Geiringers spent two years in hiding before being discovered and deported to Auschwitz. Schloss and her mother, Fritzi, survived the camp until its liberation by Soviet forces in 1945, while her father, Erich, and brother, Heinz, were killed.

After the war, Schloss moved to Britain, married German Jewish refugee Zvi Schloss, and settled in London. In 1953, her mother married Otto Frank, Anne Frank’s father. Schloss initially remained silent about her experiences, later explaining that trauma had left her withdrawn for decades.

Her public work began in 1986 when she spoke at the opening of an Anne Frank exhibition in London. She went on to become a tireless educator, speaking in schools, prisons, and international forums, and sharing her story in books, including Eva’s Story: A Survivor’s Tale by the Stepsister of Anne Frank. She continued her activism into her 90s, addressing instances of Holocaust denial and intolerance, and campaigning for education to foster understanding and respect.

Schloss’s family described her as “a remarkable woman: an Auschwitz survivor, a devoted Holocaust educator, tireless in her work for remembrance, understanding and peace.” She is survived by her three daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her husband, Zvi Schloss, died in 2016.
