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.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON STUDENT KILLED IN DORM LAUNDRY ROOM SUFFERED OVER 40 STAB WOUNDS, SUSPECT CHARGED WITH MURDER. (PHOTO)



 University of Washington student killed in dorm laundry room suffered over 40 stab wounds, suspect charged with murder

A 19-year-old University of Washington student was found dead in a student housing building after suffering more than 40 stab wounds to the head, neck, shoulders, arms, and hands, according to court documents. Juniper Blessing was discovered covered in blood in the laundry room of the Nordheim Court residence hall on Sunday night, authorities said.

A 31-year-old man, Christopher Leahy, was later booked for first-degree murder after surrendering to police on Wednesday, according to investigators. Court documents state that Leahy was identified after surveillance footage from the building showed a man inside the laundry room shortly before and after the attack. Another resident reported being followed into the facility by a man who said he was waiting for his laundry, and video later showed him appearing to search the room and look toward cameras before leaving and returning again.

Investigators said the footage captured Blessing in the laundry room using a dryer, while the suspect re-entered the space moments later and was seen staring toward a camera and tracking its wiring before exiting again. The video ended shortly after.

Police said images released from the surveillance footage were recognized by a relative and a friend of Leahy, prompting him to contact authorities and turn himself in with his parents. He was taken into custody and made his first court appearance on Thursday, with a follow-up hearing scheduled for Monday. He has not entered a plea.

Blessing’s family described them in a statement as a gifted and compassionate student and singer with plans to study atmospheric science, music, and philosophy. They said their death has left the family devastated and “diminishes the world.”
