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.

 Yakubu Gowon Says His Autobiography Aims to Clarify Civil War Decisions, Not Reopen Old Wounds


Yakubu Gowon has explained that his long-awaited autobiography was written to provide clarity on key decisions made during his time in office, especially during the Nigerian civil war, rather than to reopen past divisions.


Speaking ahead of the public launch of the book, Gowon said the memoir presents his personal perspective on historical events that have mostly been told through the views of others over the years.


The 881-page autobiography is scheduled to be unveiled on May 19 at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre.


Bola Tinubu is expected to attend the event as the special guest of honour, while Theophilus Danjuma will officially unveil the book.


The event is expected to attract political leaders, retired military officers, diplomats, and senior government officials from different parts of the country.


According to Gowon, the decision to write the autobiography became necessary because several accounts of the civil war period did not fully capture his reasoning and actions as Nigeria’s leader at the time.


“The autobiography became necessary because many accounts of the civil war era had been written from different perspectives over the years without fully reflecting my own reasoning as Nigeria’s leader at the time,” he said.


“By choosing to write, I took a conscious decision not to reopen old wounds but to clarify my thinking on policies and plans at a period often narrated by others. My story is one of conviction evaluated by circumstances at the crossroads of expectations and reality.”
