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.

Epstein estate agrees to pay at least $25 million to settle victims’ lawsuit

The executors of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate have agreed to resolve a class-action lawsuit brought by survivors of his sexual abuse, committing to pay at least $25 million while denying any wrongdoing. The agreement, reached Thursday, will be funded from the remaining assets of the estate rather than from the personal finances of the two men named in the suit, Darren Indyke, Epstein’s longtime attorney, and Richard Kahn, his accountant. Both were accused in the 2024 lawsuit of helping facilitate, participate in, and conceal Epstein’s illegal conduct for financial gain. Through their attorney, the co-executors have maintained that they have never been accused by any woman of committing or witnessing sexual abuse, nor of being informed directly about allegations against Epstein. They continue to reject claims that they played any knowing role in his crimes.

Under the terms of the settlement, eligible survivors must agree to release any future claims against the estate and must not have previously received compensation from the estate or the Epstein Victims Compensation Fund. The payout will total $25 million if fewer than 40 class members qualify, and $35 million if the number exceeds 40. The lawsuit alleged that Indyke and Kahn helped structure financial accounts that allowed Epstein to access large sums of cash to further his sex trafficking operation and that they were deeply involved in organizing and directing key aspects of his enterprise. The complaint also claimed they coerced at least three victims into sham marriages to secure immigration status so the women could remain in the United States and continue to be exploited. Indyke and Kahn have denied those allegations, insisting they did not socialize with Epstein and were unaware of his criminal conduct while providing professional services. Epstein revised his will just two days before his death by suicide in 2019, a move that later drew scrutiny as legal battles over his estate unfolded.
