 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.

FLORIDA MAN CONVICTED OF KILLING GROCERY STORE OWNER SCHEDULED FOR EXECUTION. (PHOTO).


 Florida man convicted of killing grocery store owner scheduled for execution

 A man convicted of killing a grocery store owner during a 1986 robbery is scheduled to be executed Tuesday evening in Florida, becoming the state’s second execution this year. Melvin Trotter, 65, is set to receive a three-drug lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Starke, beginning at 6 p.m. Trotter was first convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death in 1987, but the Florida Supreme Court ordered a new sentencing after finding errors in how the trial court handled aggravating factors. He was resentenced to death in 1993.

Court records show that Trotter strangled and stabbed Virgie Langford at her Palmetto store. Langford was found alive by a truck driver and was able to describe her attacker before dying at a hospital. She recalled that he wore a Tropicana employee badge with the name “Melvin.” Investigators later discovered a T-shirt with Langford’s blood type at Trotter’s home and his handprint on a meat cooler at the store. Last week, the Florida Supreme Court rejected appeals from Trotter’s attorneys, who argued that the state mismanaged death penalty protocols and that his age should exempt him from execution. His final appeals remain pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. Florida has already carried out one execution this year and has two more scheduled in March. Executions in the state are performed using a combination of a sedative, a paralytic, and a heart-stopping drug.
