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.

 I Thought We Had Time - Macaulay Culkin Opens Up About Losing Catherine O’Hara


Macaulay Culkin is still struggling to come to terms with the loss of his longtime Home Alone co-star, Catherine O’Hara.


Speaking to Gentleman’s Journal, the actor reflected on the emotional impact of O’Hara’s p@ssing earlier this year, admitting it left him feeling like there was more he wanted to say to her.


Culkin, now 45, starred alongside O’Hara in the 1990 holiday classic Home Alone and its sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. She famously played Kate McCallister, the worried mother of Kevin McCallister, the role that turned Culkin into one of Hollywood’s biggest child stars.


Looking back on their bond, the actor said the news of her de@th hit him deeply.


“When Catherine p@ssed away in January, that hit me,” he said. “That hit me pretty good because it just felt too soon. I felt like we had unfinished business.”


He continued by explaining that he always felt there was something left undone between them.


“I feel like I owed her a favor, and I don’t like having an outstanding debt,” Culkin added emotionally.


Shortly after O’Hara’s p@ssing, Culkin shared a touching tribute on Instagram. He posted a still from Home Alone showing their characters embracing, alongside a recent photo of the pair recreating the same pose years later.


In the caption, he wrote: “Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much more to say.”


He ended the message simply with: “I love you. I’ll see you later.”


Culkin was only 10 years old when he filmed the original Home Alone, and he admitted that growing up around much older actors has meant dealing with a lot of loss over the years.


The actor noted that many of the people he worked with during his childhood are no longer around, including Home Alone stars John Heard and John Candy.


“I’m going to be one of the last people standing when it comes to that kind of old Hollywood group,” he said.
