 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...

ROMANIAN COURT HANDS US RAPPER WIZ KHALIFA NINE-MONTH SENTENCE FOR DRUG POSSESSION. (PHOTO).


 Romanian court hands US rapper Wiz Khalifa nine-month sentence for drug possession

 An American rapper has been sentenced to nine months in prison by a Romanian court more than a year after a high-profile incident at a summer music festival along the country’s Black Sea coast. Wiz Khalifa, whose real name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz, was convicted Thursday of illegal drug possession stemming from his appearance at the Beach, Please! Festival in Costinesti in July 2024. Authorities said the artist was stopped by police after allegedly smoking cannabis on stage during his performance and was found to be carrying more than 18 grams of the drug. Prosecutors argued that part of the substance was consumed publicly while he was performing, an act that drew widespread attention at the time.

The ruling overturned a lighter penalty imposed earlier this year, when a lower court issued Khalifa a criminal fine of 3,600 lei, roughly $830. Prosecutors appealed that decision, seeking a harsher punishment under Romania’s strict drug laws, which criminalize cannabis possession even for personal use and allow for jail sentences of up to two years. The appeals court agreed and issued a final, binding sentence of nine months. It remains unclear whether Romanian authorities will pursue extradition, as Khalifa is a U.S. citizen who does not live in Romania. Now 38, the Pittsburgh-born rapper rose to fame with his breakout mixtape “Kush + Orange Juice” and is widely known for hits including “Young, Wild & Free,” a song he was performing when the onstage incident occurred.
