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.

Tunisian court frees NGO workers accused of aiding migrants


A Tunisian court has freed a group of humanitarian workers after handing them suspended sentences for facilitating the "illegal entry and residence" of migrants, a support committee said on Tuesday.


Sherifa Riahi, the former director of the NGO Terre d'Asile, and several members of her staff had already spent more than 20 months in jail by the time of their final hearing on Monday.


Hours after the hearing, Riahi's support committee posted a video of her leaving prison overnight, announcing her colleagues had also been freed.


Mahmoud Daoud Yaacoub, a member of Riahi's defence team, told AFP that the court had handed down a two-year suspended sentence to the defendants who were in pre-trial detention.


People outside courthouse


"Tomorrow we will learn the rest of the judgment regarding the defendants who are out on bail," he said, AFP reported.


The NGO employees were accused alongside 17 municipal workers from the eastern city of Sousse who were implicated for having lent premises to the organisation.


The 23 defendants, who were also charged with "conspiracy with the aim of housing or hiding people who entered clandestinely", had faced up to 10 years in prison.


Other charges, including ones alleging financial misdeeds, were previously dropped.


The defendants' lawyers had argued they were simply carrying out humanitarian work under a state-approved programme, in coordination with the government.


Key transit point


On the last day of the trial on Monday, a handful of people gathered outside the courthouse in support of the defendants. The final hearing lasted all day and as night fell, the court retired to consider the verdict.


The UN special rapporteur for human rights defenders, Mary Lawlor, had on Sunday urged "the authorities to release her (Riahi) instead of trying her on dubious charges related to her defence of migrant rights".


Migration is a sensitive issue in Tunisia, a key transit point for tens of thousands of people seeking to reach Europe each year.


The defendants were arrested in May 2024 along with about a dozen humanitarian workers.
