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.

 Trump administration waives visa bond requirement for World Cup ticket holders from select countries

  The Trump administration is suspending a requirement that would have forced some foreign visitors to pay bonds of up to $15,000 to enter the United States if they are confirmed World Cup ticket holders.

The policy, introduced last year, applied to travelers from 50 countries identified by officials as having high rates of visa overstays or security concerns. Among those nations are Algeria, Cabo Verde, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, and Tunisia, all of which have qualified for the upcoming World Cup.

Under the new change, eligible fans who have purchased tickets and enrolled in FIFA’s expedited visa appointment system will no longer need to pay the bond. Officials said the move is intended to ease travel for international visitors attending the tournament, which begins June 11 and will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Players, coaches, and team staff had already been exempt from the requirement as part of efforts to prioritize visa processing for the event, but the waiver now extends relief to certain spectators as well.

The decision marks a rare easing of immigration restrictions under the administration, which has otherwise implemented stricter policies in recent years. Those measures have included expanded travel limits on certain countries, additional screening requirements such as social media disclosures, and increased enforcement presence at U.S. entry points.

Some travelers from countries participating in the World Cup still face partial restrictions under broader immigration policies, while others remain subject to additional scrutiny when applying for visas.

Advocacy groups have raised concerns about the impact of these policies on international travel, warning that they could discourage visitors and conflict with the global nature of the tournament. Industry groups have also pointed to visa hurdles and geopolitical tensions as factors dampening expected tourism demand, with hotel bookings running below earlier projections.

The bond requirement itself was part of a broader effort to deter visa overstays by requiring applicants to pay between $5,000 and $15,000, refundable if they complied with visa terms or if their applications were denied.

Officials said the number of World Cup fans directly affected by the bond requirement had been relatively small but was expected to grow as more tickets were sold.

The waiver followed months of discussions involving federal agencies and international soccer officials, who had pushed for changes to ensure smoother travel for fans attending the global event.
