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.

MAN SENTENCED FOR MURDER IN DEATHS OF FOUR HOMELESS MEN IN MANHATTAN . (PHOTO).



Man sentenced for murder in deaths of four homeless men in Manhattan 


  A Manhattan jury on Thursday found Randy Rodriguez Santos guilty of murdering four homeless men who were sleeping in the Chinatown neighborhood in 2019. The 12-member jury rejected his defense claim that he was not responsible due to mental illness and reached a verdict in less than a day. Santos, 31, faces life in prison when he is sentenced in April.
The killings underscored the vulnerability of the city’s homeless population, particularly those struggling with mental health challenges. On the night of the attacks in October 2019, Santos, who was homeless at the time, carried a 15-pound metal bar and struck the men repeatedly in the head around 2 a.m., killing four. A fifth man narrowly escaped. Surveillance video captured the brutal assaults. Prosecutors said Santos had conducted a “trial run” a week earlier in Chelsea, attacking a sleeping man with a stick before being chased off. During the Chinatown attack, he sought out a weapon and carried out the fatal assault, pausing only briefly when someone passed by.
The victims, ranging in age from their late 30s to their 80s, were Anthony L. Manson, Nazario A. Vazquez Villegas, Chuen Kwok, and Florencio Moran Camano. Santos, who moved from the Dominican Republic to New York City about five years before the attacks, had a history of mental health struggles, prior arrests for assaults, and periods in shelters. His defense argued that schizophrenia and auditory hallucinations drove him to commit the murders, claiming he believed he had to kill 40 people to save his own life. Prosecutors countered that while Santos had mental illness, he still understood his actions and knew they were wrong, saying his brain “was functioning well enough” during the attacks.a
