 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.

MEXICAN CARTEL BOSS 'EL GATO' FACES NEW CHARGE, POSSIBLE DEATH PENALTY IN 2013 TEXAS MURDER. (PHOTO).


 Mexican cartel boss 'El Gato' faces new charge, possible death penalty in 2013 Texas murder

Jose Rodolfo Villareal-Hernandez, known as “El Gato” and formerly one of the FBI’s 10 most wanted fugitives, is facing a new federal charge in connection with a 2013 Texas murder. Federal prosecutors have filed a fifth superseding indictment against the Mexican cartel leader, adding a murder-for-hire charge that carries a potential death penalty if he is convicted.

Authorities say Villareal-Hernandez, linked to the Beltran Leyva Organization cartel, orchestrated the killing of Juan Jesus Guerrero Chapa at a Southlake shopping center in May 2013. Guerrero Chapa, allegedly a lawyer for a rival cartel, was shot while sitting in his vehicle during a shopping trip with his wife. Former U.S. attorney Paul Coggins explained the killing was part of a “plot of revenge” connected to Guerrero Chapa’s cartel ties and the death of Villareal-Hernandez’s father. After years on the run, Villareal-Hernandez was arrested in Mexico in 2023 and extradited to the U.S. earlier this year. His arraignment is scheduled for October 29 in Fort Worth, and if found guilty, a jury could consider the death penalty at a special sentencing hearing.
