 APC PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COUNCIL PRESS STATEMENT ATIKU MUST EXPLAIN THE LEGAL AND FISCAL BASIS OF HIS PETROL SUBSIDY PROPOSAL At his press conference in Abuja on Friday, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar reiterated his proposed  “production subsidy” for locally refined petrol, which he said would reduce pump prices. He went further to ask President Bola Tinubu to slash the cost of diesel and petrol at the pump. That proposal raises important legal, fiscal and practical questions that he must answer. Section 205(1) of the Petroleum Industry Act 2021 provides that unrestricted free-market conditions shall determine wholesale and retail prices of petroleum products. The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, in a statement on Saturday, explained that it neither fixes pump prices nor issues administrative price templates, except where the statutory conditions for intervention are met. The PIA provisions guide its function.  At the moment, “No such market fail...

Kevin Costner's sexual harassment suit by Horizon II stuntwoman to proceed, judge rules; Oscar winner plans immediate appeal

Kevin Costner will face trial in a sexual harassment case brought by a ‘Horizon II’ stuntwoman

Kevin Costner suffered a setback Thursday in his effort to dismiss a sexual harassment and hostile workplace lawsuit filed by Devyn LaBella, a stuntwoman on the film Horizon II. While two of LaBella’s ten claims were dismissed, the remaining allegations will move forward, and Costner’s team plans to appeal quickly.

After a hearing at the Los Angeles Superior Court, Judge Jon R. Takasugi ruled that LaBella’s claims of sexual discrimination, harassment, and failure to prevent harassment could proceed, though he dismissed her claims under the California Civil Code and the Bane Act related to alleged threats of physical violence. The court noted that LaBella had presented evidence that she was subjected to an unplanned simulated rape scene on set without prior discussion, choreography, or the presence of a SAG-AFTRA-mandated intimacy or stunt coordinator, which could constitute a hostile work environment.

LaBella’s lawyers emphasized that her lawsuit is grounded in the lack of contractual protections on the May 2, 2023, set, rather than the creative process of filming. Judge Takasugi also upheld her breach-of-contract claim, citing evidence that the absence of required protections violated the SAG-AFTRA Basic Agreement.

LaBella attended the court session, while Costner did not. Her attorney, James Vagnini, stated that the court’s decision “recognized the strong merits of her case” and called for the defendants to allow the discovery phase to proceed. Fellow attorney Kate McFarlane added that the ruling affirmed that “men in power cannot have impunity to abuse women” in the workplace.

Costner’s lawyer Marty Singer acknowledged the partial dismissal but said the remaining claims “have no legal or factual merit” and that the team plans to appeal promptly. The case is set for further proceedings in December, including a demurrer hearing, as LaBella prepares to continue her pursuit of accountability for the alleged on-set incidents.
