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.

 Kuwait airport attack kills one, injures dozens as Iranian drones strike terminal amid fragile regional ceasefire

 Kuwait says Iranian drones struck its main international airport Wednesday, heavily damaging a passenger terminal, killing one person and injuring dozens, and forcing a brief shutdown of the airfield amid escalating regional hostilities tied to a fragile ceasefire.

Officials said several “hostile drones” hit the airport shortly after it reopened following a months-long closure linked to the broader conflict. The attack triggered emergency responses, with authorities later reporting that more than 60 people were injured, including passengers and airport workers, some seriously. The airport partially resumed operations later in the day from a different terminal, while most flights remained suspended. Kuwait also said it destroyed multiple incoming drones and missiles and expelled two Iranian diplomats, calling the strike unacceptable.

Iran denied responsibility, with officials instead claiming the damage may have been caused by malfunctioning interceptors or other defensive systems. U.S. military officials rejected that account and said Iranian drones carried out a deliberate attack. The exchange of accusations added to already heightened tensions across the Gulf, where retaliatory strikes between Iranian forces and U.S. and allied militaries have continued alongside ongoing diplomatic efforts to maintain a ceasefire.

The broader conflict has stretched on for months, with negotiations repeatedly stalling as violence spreads across multiple fronts. Mediators have been working to extend a truce, but talks have been complicated by fighting involving Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah forces in Lebanon. Officials involved in the discussions say disagreements remain over whether any broader agreement must include a separate ceasefire in Lebanon.

In Washington, officials described ongoing military coordination and diplomatic pressure as part of efforts to stabilize the region, even as strikes and counterstrikes continue. U.S. and allied forces have intercepted missiles and drones in multiple Gulf states in recent days, while Iranian officials have acknowledged targeting American military positions elsewhere in the region. Both sides have said they are acting in response to earlier attacks.

The conflict has also raised tensions between Israel and the United States over the pace and scope of military operations in Lebanon. Israeli forces have expanded operations against Hezbollah, while U.S. officials have urged restraint as diplomatic efforts continue. Despite occasional disagreements, leaders on both sides have emphasized continued coordination and shared objectives.

Economic and strategic pressure has also intensified due to the conflict’s impact on key global shipping routes and energy infrastructure, including the Strait of Hormuz. Rising fuel prices and disrupted trade flows have added international concern as fighting continues.

The latest escalation underscores how quickly the region’s fragile ceasefire framework can be tested, with ongoing strikes, counterstrikes, and competing diplomatic conditions leaving the path to a lasting agreement uncertain.
