 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.

 Protesters confront police outside Illinois ICE center

Authorities detained nearly a dozen people Friday morning as protests continued outside an immigration processing facility in Broadview, a Chicago suburb. Illinois State Police, equipped with helmets, face shields, and wooden batons, were seen pushing back demonstrators. The facility has been the site of frequent confrontations between federal agents and protesters, and fencing that previously surrounded the property had recently been removed.

The clashes follow a judge’s order Thursday requiring federal officers to wear body cameras during immigration operations, responding to concerns over previous confrontations. Despite the ruling, some protesters expressed skepticism that the cameras would hold agents accountable. U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis said she was alarmed by reports that officers used tear gas against the public and wants all ICE and Border Patrol agents involved in “Operation Midway Blitz” to have cameras activated during enforcement actions. A Justice Department attorney noted that not all officers are equipped with cameras and cited the ongoing government shutdown as a barrier to compliance. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker praised the ruling, emphasizing the need for accountability. Additional protests are expected this weekend, with local authorities relying on the new body camera requirement and village-imposed crowd restrictions to help maintain order.
