 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...

SHARK ATTACK KILLS WOMAN, SERIOUSLY INJURES MAN AT AUSTRALIAN BEACH. (PHOTO).


 Shark attack kills woman, seriously injures man at Australian beach

A shark attack on Australia’s east coast Thursday morning killed a woman and seriously injured a man while they were swimming together at Crowdy Bay National Park, police said. The park, located 224 miles north of Sydney, is popular for beach camping, fishing, and hiking. Experts noted that attacks involving more than one person are extremely rare.

The incident occurred at Kylies Beach around 6:30 a.m., prompting emergency services to respond. A bystander helped the victims onto the shore before paramedics arrived. The woman, in her mid-20s, was pronounced dead at the scene, while the man was airlifted to a hospital in serious but stable condition. Paramedics praised the bystander for applying a makeshift tourniquet that may have prevented another fatality. Authorities said the couple were Swiss nationals, and the Swiss Consulate General in Sydney is assisting their families.

State scientists later confirmed the attackers were a large bull shark. In response, authorities deployed baited drumlines near Kylies Beach, as well as at nearby beaches, to reduce shark numbers. Police and emergency personnel closed beaches in the area indefinitely.

Shark researchers emphasized the rarity of a single shark attacking multiple people. Gavin Naylor, director of the University of Florida’s shark research program, said such incidents are “very unusual,” noting that further analysis is needed to understand the shark’s behavior. Australia has seen more than 1,280 shark incidents since 1791, with over 250 resulting in death, making the country one of the deadliest for shark encounters.

The attack follows other recent shark incidents, including a fatal mauling of a surfer near Sydney in September and a close encounter experienced by a windsurfer off the west coast earlier this month. Authorities continue to monitor the area and urge residents and visitors to avoid swimming until conditions are deemed safe.
