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.

 Algeria, France should move beyond colonial past but atrocities shouldn't be forgotten: Army chief


Algerian Army Chief General Said Chengriha urged Algeria and France to build relations beyond the legacy of French colonialism while preserving the memory of the past.


Speaking during a meeting with French Delegate Minister for Veterans and Memory Affairs Patricia Miralles, Chengriha said the two countries should work together to move past “the painful colonial legacy without forgetting it,” according to a statement by the Defence Ministry, Anadolu Agency reported.


The meeting coincided with Algeria’s commemoration of the National Memory Day, marking the May 8, 1945, massacres under French colonial rule.


Chengriha described the massacres as a defining moment in Algeria’s struggle for independence and said Algerians who sacrificed during World War II had every right to demand “a sovereign and independent state.”


Mutual respect


He also encouraged relations between Algiers and Paris to move toward a future based on mutual respect amid rapidly changing regional and international conditions.


Earlier on Saturday, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune received Miralles, who delivered a written message from French President Emmanuel Macron.


Miralles arrived on Friday in Algeria, accompanied by French Ambassador Stephane Romatet, who returned to his post after leaving the country in April 2025 during a diplomatic crisis between the two countries.


French colonial troops carried out the massacres in the eastern Algerian cities of Setif, Guelma and Kherrata, killing an estimated 45,000 people, according to official Algerian figures, after Algerians staged demonstrations demanding independence.


In April, Algeria’s parliament approved legislation criminalising French colonialism between 1830 and 1962, although the final text dropped demands for an official French apology and compensation.
