 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...

ACTOR TIMOTHY BUSFIELD FACES CHILD SEX ABUSE ALLEGATIONS IN NEW MEXICO . (PHOTO).


 Actor Timothy Busfield faces child sex abuse allegations in New Mexico 

Authorities in New Mexico issued an arrest warrant Friday for Emmy Award-winning actor and director Timothy Busfield, charging him with child sexual abuse. The warrant follows a criminal complaint filed by an Albuquerque Police Department investigator, which alleges that a child reported being inappropriately touched by Busfield on the set of the television series The Cleaning Lady, a show Busfield both directed and appeared in.

According to the complaint, the alleged abuse occurred on two occasions. The child said the first incident happened at age 7, when Busfield touched him three or four times, and a second incident occurred at age 8, with five or six alleged touches. The child’s mother reported the alleged incidents to Child Protective Services, saying they took place between November 2022 and spring 2024. The arrest warrant, signed by a judge, charges Busfield with two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor.

The complaint identifies the child only by his initials and notes he has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety. A social worker documented the child saying he experienced nightmares about the alleged abuse and often woke up frightened. The child reportedly did not initially report the incidents out of fear that Busfield, as director, would be angry.

The investigation began in November 2024, after a doctor at the University of New Mexico Hospital referred the case to authorities. The child’s parents had sought medical attention on the advice of a law firm, according to the complaint. Warner Bros., which produced The Cleaning Lady, conducted its own internal review of the allegations but did not confirm them.

The Cleaning Lady aired for four seasons on Fox, ending in 2025, and followed a Cambodian doctor who becomes involved in organized crime after witnessing a mob killing in the U.S. Busfield is also known for his roles in The West Wing, Field of Dreams, and Thirtysomething, the latter earning him an Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series in 1991. Busfield is married to actor Melissa Gilbert; her publicist did not respond to a request for comment.

Busfield’s attorney and agent had not responded to requests for comment as of Friday evening.
