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.

RHOBH STAR DORIT KEMSLEY 'RECKLESSLY' SPENT $1 MILLION ON LUXURY ITEMS WHILE FAMILY STRUGGLED TO PAY MORTGAGE, EX CLAIMS IN COURT FILINGS. (PHOTO).


 RHOBH star Dorit Kemsley 'recklessly' spent $1 million on luxury items while family struggled to pay mortgage, ex claims in court filings


Paul “PK” Kemsley has accused his estranged wife, Dorit Kemsley, of reckless spending habits that worsened their financial situation following their 2024 split. 


In court filings, PK claims Dorit spent nearly $1 million on designer clothing and luxury goods despite knowing their Los Angeles home was behind on mortgage payments. 


He alleges that while their combined income could have covered household expenses, Dorit prioritized extravagant purchases over essential financial obligations, creating what he describes as a “financial crisis.”


According to PK’s lawyer, Dorit’s spending included $69,000 at Louis Vuitton, $69,000 at Chanel, $38,000 at HermĆØs, and $22,000 in a single day at Net-a-Porter. 


PK also claims she spent more than $270,000 on travel to destinations such as Florida, Las Vegas, New York, Australia, and Paris. 


He further alleges that Dorit involved their children in financial disputes, citing an incident where their daughter Phoenix texted him asking for money to fund a spring break trip. 


PK says Dorit demanded two $50,000 payments for the vacation and threatened to damage his reputation if he refused.


The filings reveal that the couple’s Los Angeles home, purchased in 2019, carries two mortgages totaling $6 million, with one already in arrears by nearly $446,000 as of April 2026. 


PK claims he has attempted constructive dialogue with Dorit since September 2025 about selling the property to avoid foreclosure, but she has refused to engage, instead responding with erratic and hostile communications. 


Screenshots of text messages included in the filings show Dorit warning PK that the house was being allowed to go into foreclosure and urging him to “think about the kids” before it was too late.
