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.

 Aussie singer denied entry to U.S as partner apologises for Trump post


Australian musician Keli Holiday, known both for his solo work and as part of the electronic duo Peking Duk, was forced to cut short his tour after being denied entry into the United States. 


He revealed on social media that he had been detained at the Canadian border while attempting to return to New York for a scheduled performance, despite having the correct visa documentation. 


Holiday had already played shows in Los Angeles and Toronto before the incident, which ultimately led him to return to Australia, according to his representatives.


The situation drew further attention when Holiday’s girlfriend, Abbie Chatfield, issued an apology for a controversial social media post she had made in 2025 about then-President Donald Trump. 


Chatfield explained that the video, which referenced Luigi Mangione the man accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was intended as a poorly executed joke. 


She clarified that her comments were not a serious call to action and emphasized her opposition to political violence, acknowledging that the post was in “extremely poor taste” and should never have been shared.


Holiday’s case comes amid heightened scrutiny of social media activity by U.S. authorities, who now require foreign visitors to disclose their online handles from the past five years. 


Other public figures have faced similar challenges, including comedian Dom Joly, who speculated that his anti-Trump posts led to his own denial of entry, and actor Motaz Malhees, who was refused a visa to attend the Academy Awards due to his Palestinian citizenship. 


These incidents highlight growing concerns among international performers about the unpredictability of U.S. border policies.
