 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. We have been fully participating in all INEC activities without let or hindrance. NDC also fielded candidates, and fully pa...

 2 people found dead in flooded New York City basements after torrential rain

 Two men were killed Thursday in separate incidents after torrential rainfall flooded parts of New York City, submerging basements, shutting down major roadways, and delaying flights across area airports. Emergency crews worked through the afternoon to rescue trapped residents as rising water overwhelmed drainage systems and submerged vehicles.

In Brooklyn, firefighters responding to a 4:30 p.m. call found a 39-year-old man trapped in the basement of a three-story townhouse. A scuba team recovered his body as floodwaters filled the lower level. Witnesses captured video of firefighters carrying the victim through knee-deep water in the street. In Manhattan, a 43-year-old man was found dead in a flooded basement boiler room of an apartment building, authorities said. His cause of death remains under investigation.

The storm brought record-breaking rainfall to parts of the city. Preliminary totals showed 1.8 inches fell in Central Park, surpassing a 1917 record, while LaGuardia Airport recorded 1.97 inches, breaking a 1955 record. The rain fell for hours, creating treacherous conditions for drivers and commuters as water gushed into subway stations and pooled along intersections. Mayor Eric Adams said the city’s sewer systems were not built to handle the steady, unrelenting downpour.

Street flooding varied by neighborhood—some blocks saw water high enough to float cars, while others experienced only minor pooling. In addition to flooding, falling tree branches damaged vehicles in several areas. Officials did not release the names of the victims, though neighbors said the Brooklyn man had entered his basement in an attempt to rescue his dog. The tragedy renewed concerns about the dangers of living in basement apartments, an issue brought into sharp focus in 2021 when heavy flooding killed 11 people in similar dwellings.
