 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.

FLEA-BORNE TYPHUS RESURGES IN LOS ANGELES, COUNTY REPORTS RECORD 220 CASES. (PHOTO).


 Flea-borne typhus resurges in Los Angeles, county reports record 220 cases

Flea-borne typhus, an old disease spread by fleas, is making a notable comeback in California, particularly in Los Angeles, where health officials are urging residents to stay vigilant. Last year, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health documented more than 200 cases—the highest on record for the county—with patients ranging in age from 1 to 85. Roughly 90% of those infected required hospitalization, prompting officials to emphasize preventive measures such as regular flea control for pets.

Flea-borne typhus, also known as murine or endemic typhus, is caused by the bacteria Rickettsia typhi, a relative of the bacteria behind epidemic typhus, which is spread by body lice. Symptoms typically appear one to two weeks after infection and can include fever, headache, vomiting, and a distinctive rash. The bacteria naturally live in rats and other small mammals, with humans becoming infected when fleas transmit the bacteria through bites, contaminated feces, or dust. Though rare in the U.S. for decades thanks to sanitation improvements and antibiotics, the disease has surged recently, with preliminary statewide data showing record-high cases last year. Health officials warn that typhus spreads more easily among vulnerable populations, including people experiencing homelessness or living in rodent-infested areas, and urge residents to take steps to limit exposure, including controlling fleas on pets, avoiding stray animals, and keeping wildlife away from homes.
