 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...

 Don Lemon released after brief Los Angeles hearing, vows 'I will not be silent' as DOJ indictment is unsealed

Don Lemon was released from federal custody Friday after a brief hearing in downtown Los Angeles, following his arrest earlier this month while covering an anti-ICE protest at a church in the Minneapolis area. Granted a no-cash bond and permission to travel domestically and internationally, Lemon is now free despite a recently unsealed two-count indictment.

Speaking outside the courthouse, Lemon thanked supporters and declared, “I have spent my entire career covering the news. I will not stop now.” He emphasized the importance of a free and independent media, saying it must continue to “shine a light on the truth and hold those in power accountable.” Lemon also noted that federal agents had arrested him at night for activities he had performed for more than 30 years as a journalist, underscoring his belief that the First Amendment protects his work.

Lemon has not yet entered a plea, but his attorney, Marilyn Bednarski, confirmed he intends to plead not guilty and will vigorously fight the charges. His next court date is scheduled for February 9 in Minneapolis, where all future appearances will take place.

The indictment alleges Lemon and several others, including journalist Georgia Fort, engaged in a “conspiracy against the right of religious freedom at a place of worship” and acted “with intent to injure, intimidate, or interfere” with the exercise of religious rights. According to the filing, the defendants orchestrated a so-called “Operation Pullup” at Cities Church in St. Paul, which allegedly disrupted the service and caused congregants to flee in fear. Lemon has maintained that he had no affiliation with the protest organizers and was present solely to cover the events.

At Friday’s hearing before District Judge Patricia Donahue, the government’s request for a $100,000 bond was denied. Lemon was supported in court by his husband, Tim Malone, and UTA agent Jay Sures, while thousands gathered outside the courthouse in downtown Los Angeles. Public figures, including Senator Bernie Sanders, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and Amnesty International, voiced support for Lemon and other defendants.

The case is the latest legal challenge faced by Lemon, who has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump. The indictment comes amid broader scrutiny of the Department of Justice’s efforts to pursue journalists covering politically sensitive events. Lemon concluded his remarks outside the courthouse with thanks to his supporters, reaffirming his commitment to continue reporting.
