 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.

 ISWAP LEADER HUSSAINI ISMAILA JAILED FOR 20 YEARS OVER 2012 TERROR ATTACKS IN KANO


The federal high court Abuja division has convicted and sentenced one of the leaders of islamic state west Africa province (ISWAP) Hussaini Ismaila to 20 years imprisonment.


Justice Emeka Nwite gave the order in  a summary judgment after Ismaila aka Mai Tangaran pleaded guilty to a four-count terrorism charge brought against him by the Department of State Sevices  for alleged terrorism.

During the arraignment, the prosecution told the court that Ismaila was the coordinator of the 2012 attacks on police headquarters in Bompai, Kano state; mobile police base, Kabuga road, kano state; pharm centre police station, Kano state; Angwa uku police station, kano state, among other places, in which many were injured. 


The trial suffered delays resulting from appeals and the conduct of a trial-within-trial to ascertain the voluntariness of the defendant's extra-judicial statements.


When trial eventually opened, the prosecution called five witnesses including two dss officials and two eye-witnesses to some of the attacks. 


Ismaila, who had earlier pleaded not guilty during his arraignment, changed his plea to guilty after the testimony of the fifth prosecution witness.
