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.

 NBA All-Star Game reaches 15-year viewership high after moving to NBC 

NBC’s return to broadcasting the NBA All-Star Game drew its biggest audience in 15 years. Sunday’s event, featuring a USA vs. World format with a three-team round-robin, attracted 8.8 million viewers across NBC, Peacock, and Telemundo. That marks the largest audience since TNT’s 2011 broadcast, though Nielsen’s methodology has changed over the years, and prior games lacked streaming options.

The ratings represent an 86 percent increase over last year’s 2025 All-Star Game, which drew 4.72 million viewers across TNT, TBS, TruTV, and HBO Max. TNT had broadcast the game from 2003 through 2025 before a new media rights deal shifted coverage this season. The revamped format, praised for its competitiveness, featured two U.S. teams and one international squad playing 12-minute contests, with the U.S. teams facing off in the final. Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves was named MVP.

The strong viewership was likely aided by the game airing between NBCUniversal’s Winter Olympics blocks, which had a combined Sunday audience of 26.6 million. Through Sunday, the 2026 Winter Olympics are averaging 24.5 million viewers, with nine of the first ten days surpassing 20 million. Peacock has recorded 10.3 billion minutes of streaming so far, up 49 percent compared with all previous Winter Olympics combined.
