 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...

 80-year-old cruise passenger found dead after being left on Great Barrier Reef island

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - An 80-year-old woman was found dead on a Great Barrier Reef island after being accidentally left behind by a cruise ship, authorities said.

Suzanne Rees, a Sydney resident, disembarked from the Coral Adventurer last Saturday at Lizard Island during a cruise around Australia to join a group hike to a lookout. The ship departed the island about five hours before reporting her missing. Her daughter, Katherine Rees, accused the cruise line, Coral Expeditions, of a “failure of care and common sense” that left her mother alone and vulnerable in extreme heat. Katherine said her mother felt unwell during the hike, was sent down unescorted, and the ship left without accounting for all passengers.

The next day, a search helicopter located Suzanne Rees’ body roughly 50 meters off the hiking trail. Reports indicate she may have fallen from a cliff or slope. Police described the death as “non-suspicious,” and a coroner’s investigation has been launched. Coral Expeditions said it is fully cooperating with authorities and expressed condolences to the Rees family.

Australia’s Maritime Safety Authority is investigating how Rees was not accounted for when the ship departed, while a workplace safety body is also reviewing the incident. Suzanne Rees was first noticed missing when she did not show up for dinner on the ship, which returned to Lizard Island the following morning.

The incident has renewed concerns about safety protocols for Great Barrier Reef tourism, recalling the 1998 case of American scuba divers Tom and Eileen Lonergan, who were accidentally abandoned at sea and never found.
