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.

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.

 Niger suspends 10 French media organisations


Niger has suspended some 10 media organisations from former colonial ruler France, saying they threatened public order.


A statement read on state television on Friday said the suspended bodies had repeatedly broadcast "content likely to gravely endanger public order, national unity, social cohesion and the stability of the institutions" of Niger, AFP reported.


They include France 24, Radio France Internationale, France Afrique Media, LSI Africa, Agence France-Presse, TV5 Monde, TF1 Info, Jeune Afrique and Mediapart.


It said the suspension was with "immediate" effect and covered "satellite packages, cable networks, digital platforms, websites, and mobile applications".


Growing anti-colonial sentiment


RFI and France 24 had been suspended a few days after a July 2023 military takeover that brought General Abdourahmane Tiani to power.


In December 2024, Britain's BBC was suspended.


On Tuesday, Burkina Faso, an ally of neighbouring Niger and Mali within Alliance of Sahel States (AES), banned the broadcasting of the TV5 Monde channel.


Niger's decision comes a few days before a major summit between France and African countries in Kenya.


Anti‑French sentiment runs high in some former African colonies as the continent becomes a renewed diplomatic battleground.
