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.

 LESSON LEARNT FROM THE RECENT INCIDENT OF A 21 YEAR OLD APPRENTICE THAT KILLED HIS MASTER WITH A PESTLE


The regrettable incident involving a 21-year old Apprentice who allegedly used a Pestle to strike his Master, resulting to his death brought a lot of issues to the fore. These include:


1.  Early intervention Matters.

Warning signs such as drug abuse, theft, and repeated misconduct should never be ignored. Seeking timely intervention through counseling, rehabilitation, or community mediation can prevent situations from escalating into violence.


2.  Employers Must Balance Discipline with Structured Support.

While correction is necessary, structured approaches, such as involving guardians, community leaders, or appropriate authorities when issues persist, may help reduce tensions and risks.


3.  Substance Abuse Is a Serious Risk Factor.

Drug use can impair judgment, increase aggression, and fuel criminal behavior. Addressing substance abuse early through professional help is critical.


4.  Security and Boundaries in Domestic/Work Settings.

Homes that double as work places should implement clear boundaries and safety measures, especially where domestic staff or apprentices reside on the premises.


5.  Community and Law Enforcement Collaboration.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to work with the Police and other law enforcement agencies when addressing serious behavioral issues involving their wards or children.


This unfortunate event underscores the need for vigilance, proactive conflict management, and stronger social support systems within families, work places and communities.
