 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.

KIDNAPPED ETHIOPIAN JOURNALISTS FREED. (PHOTO).


 Kidnapped Ethiopian journalists freed


Three Ethiopian journalists investigating alleged illegal gold mining in northwestern Tigray have been freed after being kidnapped, a journalist at their organisation said on Sunday, AFP reported.


Tigray was devastated by a brutal two-year conflict between Ethiopian government forces – backed by regional militias and Eritrean troops – and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF).


The conflict ended in 2022 but left the region devastated with some 600,000 people killed, more than a million displaced, and much of the area's infrastructure destroyed.


The three male reporters – who have not been named – were in Asgede district working for Tigrai Television when they were "abducted by unknown individuals under unclear circumstances".


Hours later, a journalist at the news outlet told AFP they had been released.


"They are freed," said Abel Tsgabu, adding the men were "fine" but giving no further details.


Earlier, the TPLF-linked broadcaster had said the journalists were investigating "the environmental, health, and social impacts of unregulated gold mining in the region" following concerns from affected residents.


Tigrai TV condemned the kidnapping in a statement on X, labelling it a "direct attack on press freedom".
