 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable.

NIGERIAN YOUTH ARRESTED IN KANO FOR ADVERTISING T-SHIRTS SUPPORTING NATIONWIDE PROTESTS. (PHOTO).


 #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria: Nigerian Youth, Bashir Abubakar Arrested In Kano For Advertising T-shirts Supporting Nationwide Protests


The arrest is reportedly related to Abubakar's advertisement of T-shirts supporting the upcoming nationwide protests against economic hardship.


The Department of State Services (DSS) in Nigeria has been accused of arresting an individual named Bashir Abubakar in Kano. 


The arrest is reportedly related to Abubakar's advertisement of T-shirts supporting the upcoming nationwide protests against economic hardship.


However, the DSS spokesperson, Dr Peter Afunanya, denied the allegation when contacted by SaharaReporters on Sunday.


"It is not true. It is not true,” he said in a message sent to our reporter.


#RevolutionNow convener, Omoyele Sowore, has demanded the immediate release of Abubakar in a message on his X (formerly Twitter) account.


“The lawless @OfficialDSSNG has begun inciting the public to riot even before the D-Day, early this morning they arrested a young man Bashir Abubakar in Kano.


 


“His offence was that he advertised that he’s made T-shirts for the upcoming protests. Earlier another young activist was sent to prison in Kano for posting about the protest. The @OfficialDSSNG must release Abubakar immediately,” the former African Action Congress presidential candidate said on Sunday. 


Earlier on Sunday, SaharaReporters reported that Junaidu Abdullahi, a well-known TikTok creator, Junaidu Abdullahi, who goes by the handle Abusalma, had been arrested and remanded in prison custody.


His arrest came after he posted a viral video calling for widespread protests against the country's economic hardship.


According to reports, security agents detained Abusalma on Wednesday and transported him to Abuja, where he was subsequently arraigned in court and remanded in Kano prison.


Meanwhile, Amnesty International Nigeria has expressed concern over the arrest and detention of Abusalma for posting a video calling for mass protests against economic hardship in the country.


The organisation called for his immediate and unconditional release, stating that the government's primary focus should be on addressing the economic challenges faced by millions of people, rather than stifling critical voices.


Amnesty International Nigeria on Saturday night emphasised that the government's priority should be to implement urgent and effective measures to alleviate the suffering of those affected by poverty, malnutrition, and starvation, rather than suppressing dissenting voices.
