 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.

 Man lures friend to Kogi burial ground, slits throat


The Kogi State Police Command has arrested a man, Abdulmuqeet Musari, for allegedly luring his 19-year-old friend, Usman Tijani, to a burial ground, robbing him of N200,000, and slitting his throat in the Adavi Local Government Area of the state.


Tijani, a Point-of-Sale operator and a 200-Level Cybersecurity student at Confluence University of Science and Technology, Osara, was attacked on December 24, 2024.


He was later found critically injured and is currently undergoing surgery at a Lokoja hospital.


A family member of the victim, Zainab Avosuahu, who narrated the incident, disclosed that the suspect on Tuesday allegedly lured her nephew into the bush, collected N200,000 from him, and slit his throat.


“We received a shocking call from my sister on Tuesday that left us devastated. Please, this is a call for justice for my nephew, whom his friend dragged to the bush, collected 200k from, and still had his throat butchered.


“He is currently undergoing surgery in Lokoja while the ‘devil in disguise’ of a friend is on the run. Please, we are on the lookout for him. This is all the information we can get now, as the victim can’t say much,” she stated.


However, the suspect was later apprehended by the vigilante and security architecture of the local government, who followed him to a neighbouring community in Ekiti.


According to Suleiman Acheneje, the Senior Special Assistant to the LG chairman, Bashiru Okatenwu, the security personnel of the LG swung into action when they heard about the situation.


He stated, “In the late hours of December 24, 2024, 7 pm to 8 pm precisely, unforeseen circumstances happened around Adavi burial ground, where a young boy named Usman Tijani got attacked by one of the bad eggs we still have in our society.


“Usman who happens to be a 200-level student of Cyber Security in Confluence University of Science and Technology Osara was brutally injured by Abdulmuqeet Musari, whose intent was no doubt to kill him.


“The victim was found nearly dead and rescued around 2am (on Christmas day) in New Zango, Adavi LGA, where he was immediately rushed to Lokoja and has since been receiving treatment in a very sound hospital there.


“The culprit was already on the run but kudos to the Executive Chairman Of Adavi, and their security intel, as they were able to apprehend the culprit in Ekiti state.”


It was gathered that the suspect had been handed over to the police.


The state Police Public Relations Officer, Williams Aya, confirmed the incident and the arrest of the suspect.


Aya said, “The suspect has been arrested and is currently in police custody, and the investigation is ongoing. He will be arraigned in court on completion of the investigation,”
