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.

 Unknown individuals looted palliatives at our Owerri rally – City Boy Movement


An empowerment programme organised by the City Boy Movement, a support group for President Bola Tinubu, descended into disorder on Saturday when a large crowd surged forward and looted items intended for distribution to beneficiaries across Nigeria's South-East region.


The event, held at Heroes Square in Owerri, marked the official launch of the Renewed Hope National Tour and the City Boy Movement South-East Youth Tour and Empowerment Programme on March 14, 2026. It aimed to provide support to young people, market traders, and vulnerable individuals from Abia, Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi, and Enugu states.


Items prepared for distribution included shuttle buses, sewing machines, deep freezers, grinding machines, barbing kits, wheelchairs for persons with disabilities, smartphones for content creators, generator sets, laptops, cash grants, farming kits, fertilizers, and hair salon equipment.


According to the movement's South-East spokesperson, Chief Uche Nworah, the programme was progressing smoothly until unidentified individuals stormed the venue and began carting away the empowerment materials. This sudden action triggered panic in the crowd, resulting in a stampede.


In a statement, Chief Nworah described the disruption as regrettable but insisted it should not overshadow the initiative's positive goals of empowerment and support. He was present at the event and witnessed the incident firsthand, rejecting what he called a "negative spin" being placed on it in some quarters. He suggested the looters appeared to be outsiders, hinting at possible attempts to sabotage the gathering.


The City Boy Movement, led by businessman Chief Obinna Iyiegbu (popularly known as Obi Cubana), has distanced itself from suggestions that widespread hunger under the current administration fueled the chaos. Instead, it maintains that external elements were responsible for the breach.


The incident has drawn mixed reactions online and in media reports, with some accounts describing it as residents overwhelming the venue amid frustration, while others highlight the organisers' claims of external disruption.
